Deep work, a self-help book written by Cal Newport, came out in 2016 and largely predates LLM's being a widely available "tool." LLM's pose the same threat as social media, email, slack, zoom,teams and the rest of the distractions that plague modern day knowledge workers. Deep work is, valuable, rare, and meaningful. The use of LLM's have all of the same pitfalls of "shallow work".

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!

After receiving the case today and the phone getting a few updates, primary SIM is back in the Minimal Phone. I’ve actually missed using it and looking forward to giving it another shot at full time use.

Have you ever considered how using a minimal Linux distribution can be a form of asceticism? 🌱 https://www.rugu.dev/en/blog/linux-asceticism/

Quitting the "scrollables" is totally worth it.

I quit all the big centralized scroller apps. Yes finally even YouTube has been deleted from my phone and blocked/privacy-redirected on my laptop.

Now I use:
- Miniflux RSS feed
- Curated Mastodon feed
- Podverse podcasts
- Freetube + Grayjay for music and video search/follow
- Kavita ebooks

I could reduce to just RSS but the other clients are nice to use for their respective media type.
