Hi /sig/. So earlier this week I watched a video about how being on the internet or your smartphone a lot, especially while you’re doing other things, is literally bad for your brain. It can affect memory, concentration, attention span, etc. I didn’t realize how serious a problem this was. The research is kind of tentative at this point but it’s not looking good.

So I decided to start reducing my screen time immediately. I’m not planning on posting here any less, because I don’t post here constantly and I know posting here has helped me. But I switched from using my smartphone’s notes app to writing in a little notebook. Can’t hurt, right? And prioritizing reading physical books rather than reading on my phone.

I moved some things around in my closet, picked out some more things to get rid of.

I discussed my general future plans with my therapist, to the end of making more concrete future plans eventually and decide how to work toward them.
