As much as I have ideals for my technology use, I will admit that

• I have some audio in the background playing half of my waking hours
• If I’m tired of words, I’ll put on music, vice versa
• If there’s an unanticipated pause, I first check if it’s still playing correctly
• Yes I am afraid of being stuck with my own thoughts when I go to bed
• I think of the time spent waiting in line as nothing but wasted unless I use it as an opportunity, perhaps to read a saved tab on my phone
• All of this might not be the cause of it, but it definitely doesn’t help my mental fog and fatigue

Excessive. Spread across several devices and countless bookmarks.html exports from old system installs. I am too busy to revisit or even curate them.

In my mind, I assume that I will be given notice of the day that the internet will be closed off, when Youtube ads will be completely unblockable, and I will rush to download every last article and video in those bookmarks, then live happily ever after off-grid.
