First off the good things. I learned how to solve a rubik's cube (sub 5mins so far), and I'm getting back into anime with the new season of log horizon and Kuroko no Basket. I've been having trouble with digital minimalism. Staying off social media is easy but I don't think I was ready for the social isolation that comes from it. I have all the things against me, I was homeschooled growing up, moved to a rural area when I was about twelve, and drove an hour to university so I never really got t...

Something that I forgot to mention from my last post was this little insight. My porn addiction was being propped up by my phone usage. All my triggers that usually came from social media discover algorithms are gone and harder to access and I also don't feel the need to continue the dopamine high that I would get from continued phone usage. I hope for the sake of others like me that there will be a mass exodus from social media in favor of things that are real, pure, and dictated by our actions...

After reading digital minimalism by Cal Newport I have severely cut my screen time down over the past two weeks. During lockdown and six months after my first relationship my screentime on my phone hit an all-time high with one day reaching twelve hours and averaging ten hours that week. I mainly bounced around tinder, snapchat, instagram, youtube, anime, and various porn sites. The way this week is going for screentime is pretty absurd by contrast, I'm averaging about two to three hours a day. ...

Japanese floor futon For some reason when I was growing up I would sometimes prefer the floor instead of a bed. My parents went along with it and got me a 1.5in thick piece of foam and I would rotate between my bed and the piece of foam. As time went on that piece of foam went to my best friend's house and when I slept over I would always use it. I spent nights less and less when I moved far away from my best friend's house so I didn't sleep on the floor for a while. Fast forward to 2015 and I ...

Piano For a long time piano was just a chore that I did to make my parents happy but I would say since march of 2020 I have been just been playing for fun. Sometimes just breaking down songs I hear into cords and melodies, improvisation, and reading sheet music. ...

Quality Time When it comes down to it I like people. It's nice to at least share a space with someone that I care about. If they like that I'm there then that makes my heart sing, if its neutral then thats okay too. ...

Looks like my little stunt living in the year 9999 made a difference on the platform. Hi Mo, I hope you’re doing well. Are your businesses and projects are happy and healthy? ...

Weighted blankets As someone who feels like they don't get enough hugs weighted blankets come in handy for that daily feeling. ...

Koss portapros headphones These headphones may not have the soundstage of headphones with the drivers further away from the ears but I really do like them. the bass is punchy and everything else seems pretty detailed. I personally wear them with the headband barely touching my head with the main staying power coming from the clamping force of the comfort zone pad, I also set the zone to light to get just a little more soundstage. ...

Just a couple of things to get off my chest.For starters, I have a bunch of personal goals I want to accomplish and fulfill. A portion of these habits will replace bad ones, hopefully resulting in a more focused, happy, healthy, and prosperous life from now on.Habits:return to working out four times a weekwriting hopefully seven days a weekshooting more creative photography learn a new language with duolingoThings to decrease/limitstimulation from artificial sources (my phone screen time usually...

Gerber Shard a very nice minimal tool for unexpected things. There might be better tools now but this one is mine and until I lose it I'll probably keep using it. ...

NarwhalCo Pens I don't know when but at some point in the past when I was really into researching EDC I saw that a lot of people carried pens. I read many stories about how having a pen in a pinch can really be helpful. I got these narwhalco pens because they fit perfectly in my wallet and because if your register they will send you free ink refills, I haven't had to request any yet but it's been great having a pen with me at all times I cant tell you how many times I just break it out and peop...

Pilot g2 pens As a graphic designer a lot of my work starts with pen and paper. Any pen will work but if I have a choice it would probably be pilot g2 pens (Walmart r2 pens also work). ...

Computers They are where I do basically all my work, but I love how they work. I work with mac and windows have built a couple of custom builds. ...

Photography I always love the technical side of photography, all the rules, specs of cameras, and post production. I like dabbling in all types of photography but I feel most suited to journalistic or documentation. when working with people I have a lot of trouble with posing and getting them to look good, my candid work where people don't even know I'm there or don't care seems to be some of my best work that comes easiest to me. ...
