Unplugging Your Life

Consume, consume, consume.

Food, drinks, news media, podcasts, TV, social media

Seemingly in the blink of an eye I’ve passed years of my life taking these things in.

When I take a moment to think of the last time I produced anything instead of consuming?

When I think of the skills, art, or creativity I possess?

When I consider the relationships I should be maintaining, creating, nourishing?

These have all taken a back seat to living an incredibly dull and rigid life. A life where spare moments are filled with scrolling mindlessly and investing into the lives of strangers. You know its bad when even the targeted ads on social media are for applications to help you kick the habit of scrolling…

So welcome to the place where I will begin turning this life around! My goal for Unplugging Your Life, is to show the power of letting go of the shackles of modern times and holding onto the best traditions of the past. I’ll be fighting back against strong neural connections formed from over 11 years of handheld device usage AND tech neck. Join me while I reclaim hours each day, while fighting the urge to continue down this lonely path.

What skills will I learn?

What relationships will I nurture?

Will I become a producer instead of a voracious consumer?

Well, this blog post is my first step in the right direction.

Thanks for being here. I hope you’ll come along for the ride.
