Being #unavailable gives your mind time to "breathe", go at its own pace, uninterrupted, and to chew on your ideas and whatever kind of creativity inspires you.

We didn't know it at the time, but my gen was creatively blessed to be able to be analog "bored" because, barring a landline, we were literally offline & there was no way to notify us that someone was trying to reach us for something. Not everything is mission critical.

Here's some information from an old. Part of going analog is learning & happily acclimating to an "unavailable" lifestyle. Make sure your devices are dumb enough & your mind is made up enough to be more unavailable. They called my gen "feral" , but we were actually "free". The out of the house in the morning, & not getting back until the street lights came on? TRUTH. #imagination was our tech. Find your version of that. gl

I want no physical devices that require an internet connection or an app. Don’t want it. Don’t need it. Won’t buy it.

#DumbDevices rule!
