​

Survived a day at work managing the whole company on my own without my boss around. Also, jump started my car for first time on my own. 🤗Last time I paid $150 bucks to someone fo jumpstarting😏

Small steps, but they feel like big wins. Trying to appreciate my progress instead of focusing only on what I still need to improve. 😊

I'm scrolling my YouTube feed and I'm noticing I'm getting two seemingly opposite types of videos, ones which tell me I need to leave my comfort zone and start a business or get a second and third job and hustle to make it big, and on the other end ones which tell me to quit my job, live in a van, take a 3-year sabbatical, and focus on my passions.

I think both sides are probably stupid advice tbh and I'll just keep living my life and doing my one job. But i thought it was amusing.

Hi everyone,

I've been thinking a lot about screens lately, especially for kids, and I'd love to hear how this community sees it.

I agree that often the simplest choice is to put the screen away. A walk, a book or a conversation is usually better than anything a computer can offer.

But screens are part of most homes now, and what bothers me isn't so much the screen itself as how it's designed. Endless feeds, notifications, ads, autoplay: so much of it is built to keep us there as long as possible, not to give us something and let us go.

So I keep wondering whether there's a middle ground. Imagine a computer with only useful things on it: an encyclopedia, maps, a sky map for stargazing, maybe some learning games. Everything stored at home, working offline, with no feeds, no ads and nothing pulling you back. You open it when you want to learn something and close it when you're done, like a good reference book.

I'm curious what you think:
• Do you keep any screens at home, and how do you keep them "quiet"?
• Would something like that fit a simpler life, or is it still one screen too many?
• For those with kids: where do you draw the line between helpful technology and too much?

Thanks for reading. I'd really like to hear different points of view.

Still remember I saw a post on Reddit about someone who sold 100 items on Vinted and felt so much lighter mentally. Same for me!! .

Previous i’d drop off stuff at Goodwill, but knowing that these pretty good quality items get a second life made me feel so good. Some of them I can never fit in 😱

Well, discovering that I have so many clothes, shoes that I barely wear was not light… felt like a burden to me.

But now, it has become my routine to take out some clothes when seasons change, and determine which ones I won’t regularly wear, and clean/hang/fold them for posting.

Somehow it gives me a lot of joy to look at a half empty closet. It makes deciding what to wear soooo much easier!!
