I certainly don’t miss knowing what’s going on in the NFL or NBA. But this experiment has definitely taught me that I really don’t care that much about sports. The one place that I do consistently use the internet for entertainment, though is checking ESPN daily. News, Entertainment, and Texting really weren’t much of an issue since I do so little of those anyway.Also, if I pair down on the number of newsletters I subscribe to, I imagine my desire to check will decrease. I think having specific times for checking email will be good. My desire to check email hasn’t really gone down much. I’ll also make some more stringent rules about when and for how long I check blogs and newsletters. I think I’ll plan to do a careful review this weekend of which blogs and newsletters I know that I get consistent value from and keep them, while unsubscribing from those that are more hit or miss. Surprisingly, I haven’t missed my blogs and newsletters as much as I thought I would (although I definitely miss them more than Instagram).I’ll go back to using Instagram, but probably only checking it once a day at a specific time.I think my high-level take away is that while they’re aren’t many things that I will just completely remove from my life, I will try to be far more intentional about how those things get reintroduced and what my relationship with them will be moving forward. Where do I go from here? The way Cal framed this experiment was as a way to remove optional digital technology for a while, acclimate to this new reality, then only add back in what is truly valuable. 3 Lessons on Deep Productivity from a 30-Day Digital Declutterīack to Reality.
