To avoid using YouTube to fill the scattered waiting times with “something”, I have removed the app from my phone.
I know it is going to be surprisingly hard to stick to it. I need to work on a sustainable system to consume content in a more paced way.
All of them. No buzz, no ring, no ding-dong. Nothing. Mobile phone and computer alike.
I don't follow a computer's commands, it follows mine. My smartphone is not a digital rosary.
But, from time to time, I still fail and slowly become a digital slave, an infomaniac.
Thus, a breakaway from all of it is needed. Everything gets shut down and go somewhere else to wander for a while, freely.
Purposefully wandering, or how the Dutch call it, Niksen, it is time well invested.
The image is the Amazon App. It kept showing that error each time I wanted to complete my order earlier today.
Well, not my phone, but the banking app running on it.
(Please note the quotation marks on the word “smarter”.)
