Can't wait to see the first baby step. It will take a while, but I know you can do it one step at a time. I personally am down to one lap top and a basic flip phone. And it is still too much. I need the lap top for my work and for Substack, but youtube is fucking me up. I am so ashamed... Life is so very short.
Sounds like you're way ahead of most - a flip phone? I'm dreaming of a flip phone but alas, work - one day. If you're interested, my husband likes the Freedom app. Could help with Youtube.
This is way too relatable. And actually really depressing! (And very funny the way you captured the addiction.)
Leave Substack for last, please oh please!
Not ditching SS just yet - too much other junk has to go first. Like Insta - I barely use it but it's crack.
Good luck with the detox! It’s hard !!!
Substack: the methadone for tech-addicts. :D
Great piece, but the Substack points are serious. Where do you plan to publish when you’ve kicked tech? Should I still take out a subscription?
I'll keep you posted but Substack is positive for me as long as I don't check out what others are doing - so it stays... for now.
Well, don’t ditch tech so much that you stop writing on Substack!!!
this is a wake up call. a funny, well rendered wake up call

I have no phone on which to install a Freedom app... not sure it can be used on a laptop. I will check.
You can do this! 💪 Lead us all toward the land of freedom and intact brain function! 🧠
Ha. If I'm leading, we're all fucked. Thanks for the support.
Preach! You speak the truth. As always. I'm glad to also connect with you IRL because I can't quit you.
