Rinse and Repeat

To the computer, to the kitchen, to the bathroom. Rinse and repeat.

I love it that my phone gives me a weekly report on my usage. But then, I pretty much use my phone for phone stuff and do the heavy lifting at my desktop. I suppose I could download an app to keep track of my screen-time there…..but I’m scared to.

When you’re hunkered down and there isn’t anything else to do, we spend all day glued to our screen with our spreadsheets and documents. In our off-time we live in the artificial digital world of social media. Yea, I see you checking Facebook over there. Better get up and go to the kitchen or the bathroom.

When the digital world is consuming you like Ahab and the white whale let’s work on our penmanship. For that matter, let’s just generally reacquaint ourselves with the analogue world. Yes, it still exists.

Remember how to write in cursive? Still have a stray postage stamp somewhere in a drawer? Grab a legal pad. Go to the living room (if you remember where it is) and write a letter. Now head to the mailbox. A few days later you will probably get a letter in return. Open it, read it, enjoy it. Rinse and repeat.
