📚 Four Thousand Weeks: it’s as good as they say.

Nothing original, but a great collection of wisdom distilled from various traditions (faith, agile/lean, strategy, psychology, etc.).

Cheri’s tips for a better relationship with the Internet:

1. I abstain from ad-supported and/or algorithmically manipulated social media.

2. I avoid websites with an endless scroll. Aka “doomscrolling.”

3. The only notifications I allow on my phone are calendar appointments.

4. I use privacy-respecting hardware and software, when they exist. When they don’t, I make do with the next best thing. (I’m looking at you, Apple!)

5. I minimize opinion-checking. That is, I form my own conclusions rather than caring what “the internet thinks” about a topic.

6. I don’t frequent places where assholes thrive.

I like this approach to tracking lists and will try it.

Probably works best paired with clarity on your values & priorities, and time-blocking to focus on your priorities.
