Experimental July
I am starting a new experiment in July. And it will be the hardest one yet.
I'm voting to make this the soundtrack of 2025.
One of my current projects is replacing my phone with dedicated devices (or things) for specific tasks.
So far I have:
- A proper camera
- A notebook and pen
- An Android-based e-reader for all my reading
And I'm looking at DAPs (basically a fancy iPod) for music, podcasts, and meditation.
(Funny how, back in the early days, we were excited whenever phones replaced more devices. Now, it feels like many people are moving in the opposite direction.)
This sparks joy.
On FOMO and Smartphones
Experimental June is over. I broke almost every rule, yet ended up following most of them.
Experimental June: week 3
Week 3 of "Experimental June" is done. And I learned some things.
Experimental June: week 2
Week 2 of "Experimental June" has ended. I cheated.
A Dream Life Scenario
What if the thing you’re chasing is the very thing pulling you away from what you want? A chat with Manuel, a simple question, and an equation made me rethink the trade-offs I was willing to make.
