It was a healthy decision to create a work schedule that lifted my creative activities to the same level as my income-producing activities.
The next decision, which came upon me suddenly, was to amputate my connection to almost all news-and-entertainment platforms and feeds.
I stripped away ....
From my laptop browsers:
- Google news feed
- Four streaming services
From my laptop's start toolbar:
- Microsoft news feed
From my phone:
I kept my Feedly news feed app, but I chopped all of the news media, leaving less than a handful of person-driven columns that I enjoy.
I don't have a television, so that's not an issue while I'm still in Mobile. In Missouri, it will be a different story, so I'll see how that goes then.
Replacements:
- Print books
- Print newspapers that I can enjoy in air-conditioned comfort at the library only four blocks away (for now).
