Fasting From Mobile and Social Media

Yep. I knew I could do it. Although, it was tough the first week. No social media or non-public mobile news for three weeks. This included (unintentionally) anything that would typically trigger a notification to social media, like this blog. Sorry.

Of course, I have a generational advantage, which I think makes it easier for me. I clearly remember life before the World Wide Web. What I didn't expect was all the free "mental" space that fast would provide. It was as if someone turned down, to volume one, all the white noise in the state. I experienced better sleep, less tension, and (yes) more time. I was generally in a better mood.

Some things I'll keep: no more mobile news.

Yeah, the better sleep, less tension, and more time too.
