Extreme Detox?
Would it be completely insane to shut down my computer and any dopamine producing app on my phone for an entire week and see what I would do instead?
So, I have been thinking about doing a kinda extreme tech detox, where I wouldn't turn on my computer for one entire week and also delete every game or dopamine producing app on my phone and just go with the flow 😁
Now a Extreme detox, may be a little too extreme, which is literally in the sentence. It might be a bit to extreme of an experiment even for me + I would still want to be on Hive so I could write and post and comment with people. I do feel more productive being on Hive compared to any other site xD
I am mainly concerned about my intake of useless youtube videos which have exponentially increase over the few weeks of my foot not working normally.
Solution?
Medium Extreme Detox?
One thing which could end up being the better solution could be to wake up at the same time every daily (which I already do) and the only have 2 hours available for computer use, this would allow me to still watch/read the news while doing some Hive game things like playing @risingstargame or @rabona or stack some more SPS from @splinterlands and in general just manage my Hive account for a short time everyday.
I would still be on Ecency on the phone, as I wrote with commenting and such ^^ :D
I honestly just typed in "extreme" and "detox" on pixabay. But "detox" is just healthy food and "extreme" are stuff like this, which I would rather be doing than watching ytxD
Took a full week off last month, went away for a short break with little to no connection, it felt good!
Go walking without any gadgets for an hour a day, a camera, but not a cellphone.
Good luck!
!BEER
Uhh that sounds soo good!! What did you do instead?
I just told a few hours off and wandered around. Not home at the moment, so I didn't have any books to read :c
Thanks!
Become an inspector of nature in your region, rewarding in itself!
Ah, yes! This is the plan!
All of my plan is based on me being at home having my bike, my books and Gym zD
Good luck, go for your dreams 👍
Thanks Joan! :D
I tried it for two weeks.... I must confess it wasn't easy to not be on hive
It was only easy to stay away from the other apps
I had to write 3 times a week on hive, and respond to only comments on my post
But the break was worth it.... I took out time, and experience the world around me 😊
Ohh damn! That sounds so good! :D
I wouldn't be away from Hive and good on you for writing for 3 days, thats good :D
You have made me want to this even more now, thanks for that!
But I gotta know, what did you fill your time with? :D
You must have gotten a lot more writing done :) I need to start not going online until I finish my post, unless it's to research something for the post!
We know Rabona is addictive, don't blame us if you fail with your detox! :D But seriously, good idea and good luck!
haha ;) I haven't started the detox yet! :P
I have had such feelings lately, but I had to caution myself against going extreme, primarily because one of my major goal at the moment is building my hive account. If I stay off internet, that would be counterproductive, so I'd rather reduce my presence on the internet space, instead of going extreme.
Well. You can always write posts on your phone or paper and then later post it to hive :D
Yeah sure. A good idea.
But if you are trying to build an account, replying to other's posts is actually just as important as doing your own. So maybe just stick to being only on Hive?
Yeah. The both are important. That's why I can't go off the internet, I will only reduce other activities.
Maybe commit to only using Hive? No news or youtube or other websites? Then you will certainly be more productive!
Well. I dont might watching news.
But sometimes I watch Sims gameplay or minecraft haha :p
That needs to go too, lol! Why sit and watch others have fun?
You cannot sent token to yourself.
I know. I am working on that! :D
I never saw the appeal. Playing is one thing, you are testing your skills. But what's fun in just watching it?
!PIZZA and !ALIVE
I think it depends on what you watch. I dont watch twitch, but I do watch highlights on yt and such
I still don't understand why it's fun, but I guess it helps people make a living
@cwow2! I sent you a slice of $PIZZA on behalf of @wrestlingdesires.
Did you know you can spend $PIZZA on games in the $Pizza Store? (10/10)
