@elilla yeah, I sit here and ponder all this stuff nearly every day lately, how little I can focus, but without changing something tactile my hands just go ctrl t social.p return again.
it is so tiring to deal with this package deal of 'fascinating discussion' and 'no attention span'
@ckie @elilla I've started cutting out more and more 'connected' things lately for the same reason. I do actually need the web for various of my projects, but do I need *all* of the web? I don't think so.
So I've been trying to create more... 'physically distinct' environments, despite reusing the same hardware? Because I also don't want to buy entire new hardware just for this purpose (which would, after all, contribute to resource consumption again).
Some of my most recent changes around this:
- Picked a visually distinct editor theme for my own projects, the ones that do not try to meet the standards of capitalism
- Created a new browser profile for "focus", which has LeechBlock installed and perma-blocks all sources of endless distraction, so that it becomes progressively difficult to access them
- Set up an out-of-browser RSS reader following some of the blogs I actually *enjoy* reading
- Setting aside time to read in bed, before sleep, with no connected anything to distract me. E-reader technically has a browser but it's slow and awkward and only really useful for web fiction, which is a good thing in this case
