Peaceful life online:
1) Quit social media (cuz of over-optimized content, clickbait)
2) Read only blogs and newsletters (nor Linkedin, Twitter, Medium)
3) Keep Reddit for fun (the only place which survived, cuz users there cheap)
4) Replace constant consuming with writing notes, reading notes, producing stuff.
Absolutely love this piece. Still need to process though. Too many thoughts. I struggle with every step btw, cuz Im that ADHD hamster constantly saving content, that I have 500 articles, 1000 videos, books, notes. Its killing me.
And the worst part is - that I know its where, valuable knowledge sits tight, and not used. That thing will cause guilt and pain.
So I decided to solve this puzzle from the other side: just stop saving. I left only with Notes. I dont save articles, videos. I dont even use social media, (except Reddit) cuz it overwhelms me.
As a huge fan of Rick and Morty I was amazed by enthusiasts who decided to build “Pass Butter” robot, powered by AI. Why not?
I love newsletters, its fine to get them by email, but other companies send me bs, its the reason I dont want to open my mail and read.
