I spend far too much time on social media.
I’m sure I’m not the only one. Twitter is my social addiction of choice.
It was on my homescreen on my phone.
But not anymore.
I’m changing my homescreen in an attempt to change my behavior. I’ve got 3 pages of icons that I have to scroll thru to find my social addictions, but I’ve put this app on my homescreen. Right where Twitter used to be actually.
I want to be more productive in a meaningful way. And Twitter ain’t it!
This means that this page will be getting a lot more of my “preformed” thoughts. And typos.
Good luck.
You’re gonna need it.
Why did I do this?
Beyond just the addiction dynamic, I didn’t like who I was becoming on Twitter. I was becoming argumentative. Like, argumentative for arguments sake.
I ended up arguing against my own strongly held positions.
My fight had overcome my mind.
I want my mind to direct my fight. Not the other way around.
The new tagline of this site is “Context matters. It really does".
This is my new mantra.
I had known this intellectually before. But I need to imprint this in my soul. I need to make it bedrock.
What are your mantras? The things that you need to make bedrock?
