Hi guys, and welcome back to yasminecollects! Today I am covering a topic that I spend way too much time thinking about, it's not retro tech...but tech nonetheless. We live in a very overstimulating world, and without sounding too much like an old man yelling at the clouds just think about it for a second. TVs with screens, Teslas with basically iPads in them, not being able to log off at work...the list goes on. I am not immune to this, and with the added complexities of being a feminine person in a looks dominated world, it's very challenging to strike a healthy balance of media consumption.
I have tried several times to moderate my iPhone usage, from screen limits to blocking apps to switching my plan to my flip phone. None of it has been effective as I still find a way to use it. So I have decided to trade it in for something I'll want to use and leave it there. Hopefully with the end goal of a more balanced lifestyle in mind, I will feel less bombarded with the little irritants of notification and more motivated to enjoy my passions.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on media addiction, can you relate?
