I don’t know the date without looking at my device. I found it on my computer 01/24/2021
Since I am not constantly looking at my phone I am not as aware of the time. This has reduced my anxiety.
I have noticed I am less anxious because I have to come up with alternative ways to get information. This occupies my mind and reduces my anxiety.
Not using my device re-institutes a curiosity bridge. with my device I think of something, I go to my device and discover the answer. Without it I need to figure out how to get knowledge. What tools or resources are available to me? where can I access them? Now it usually means using my computer instead of my device but even that changes the equation
I am not sure the change is better. I approach things different. I can’t quantify the experience but since I am looking at things different I am distracted. If I am distracted from depression, anxiety and hopelessness then I will take it. I guess that is better.
