In deutschen Schubladen schlummern Millionen ausgedienter Mobiltelefone. Wer seine alten Handys richtig entsorgen will, schützt nicht nur die Umwelt, sondern sichert auch wertvolle Rohstoffe. Es gibt dafür verschiedene Wege, von der Spende bis zum Recyclinghof.

My 30-day digital detox was a really positive experience! 10/10, highly recommend.

The first week or so was pretty rough, especially because I basically had no proofreading jobs coming in (normal for early January). I found myself constantly picking up my phone and unlocking it, only to remember that there was nothing there for me to check or scroll.

But eventually I became less distracted, and I was super productive. I used a sheet protector to make myself a daily checklist/planner because I've found that I tend to thrive on routine. I figure if I do things consistently in the same order, I'm less likely to get distracted by screens.

- Applied for 3 jobs with nonprofit organizations, with one more in progress
- Finished reading FOURTEEN books
- Resumed journaling daily
- Practiced meditation
- Continued daily morning yoga and resumed doing some step aerobics
- Learned to tie 3 new knots
- Took some nice bubble baths
- Grew 4 batches of sprouts in a sprouting jar I got for Christmas
- Started up a weekly catch-up phone call with my brother
- Did some cleaning I'd been putting off
- Had a couple of friends over for a lovely dinner (build-your-own vegan poke bowls)

Now I'm feeling so much better in general. Less anxiety and more hope. Really glad I did this!

I'm going to do a 30-day digital declutter starting on January 2nd, as recommended in the book Digital Minimalism that I read a few weeks ago.

For the digital declutter:
- Delete non-essential apps (including Discord, Mastodon, and YouTube) from my phone
- Block distracting websites on my laptop
- Avoid streaming video (aside from new Drag Race episodes w/ my roomie)
- Streaming music is allowed, but no curating playlists
- Disable notifications for email and messaging apps and designate set times to check for new messages
- Designate a daily window for friends/family to call me for catch-up/chats?

Alternative activities I will focus on instead:
- Job hunting :persevere:
- Reading
- Writing
- Meditation
- Yoga
- Learning new knots

Simplify Your Digital Life: Tips for Overcoming Clutter

Digital clutter often stems from overwhelming situations, not laziness. Instead of striving for perfection, focus on small removals, like deleting apps or archiving files. Embrace flexible, low-maintenance systems that accommodate real life. Allow yourself to stop optimizing and feel lighter with gradual, manageable changes for a more functional digital space.

Digital friction, the minor obstacles we encounter online, can lead to feelings of fatigue and overwhelm, particularly for neurodivergent individuals. These challenges complicate productivity, often dismissed as laziness. Recognizing digital friction empowers us to address it, simplifying our digital lives through community support and practical strategies, like reducing browser tabs and managing notifications.

It's almost the end of the year and that means one thing:

It's time to clean out my Downloads folder. Or folders, if we count all of my devices.

And I don't wanna do it, but it's a #DigitalChore that I can't avoid. I mean, I could, but I'll inevitably need to do it someday.

Uuhh... I think I should clean up my Downloads folder, right?
