RE: No socials, write more blogs

Couple of things…

Agree with the RSS thing, however my workflow is: RSS ‘as my social media’.

I left social media but kept YouTube (for reasons), and 𝕏 (just because, but very rarely read/interact) so have my RSS app (Reeder) honed to what I want to be ‘exposed’ to.

And yes, reading in the RSS app doesn’t bring the personality of the writer, but it does help me to have a single place to see everything.

So my ‘flow’ is to scroll/read within the app and open things that intrigue me, like your post ;-)

Regarding the iPhone, I’m this close [visual of my thumb and finger an atom apart] to getting rid of mine, getting an iPad mini with a SIM, reviving my old original red Nokia 8210 and calling it a day.

That way I have a phone for emergencies, and a ‘computer’ to do the things I need to without being chained to a smartphone that’s invading my head space.

Smartphones have become this thing that we NEED to have.

I disagree.

I come from the time of Rolodex, pen, paper, and floppy disks, so going back to a simpler time with the occasional tech use is what I’m trying accomplish.
