What Hobbies Or Routines Have You Left Behind For Online Life?

In the last year and a half or so, my digital life has nudged a lot of real life stuff out of the way and claimed dominance over my time, attention, energy and talents. It's not necessarily a bad thing or a good thing. It is what it is to use a tired old phrase. I guess I always disliked that phrase because it really felt like an ode to the path of least resistance. It is what it is. Like water running downhill and allowing gravity and obstacles to dictate its course.

I have had to talk more than once person into getting away from the computer and Discord to simply go and take care of themselves for a while. Whether to eat, have a shower, go for a walk or whatever it is they needed to do to decompress and take a break.

I realized recently that I allowed my digital life to encroach a little too far into my real world and I'm giving it a hard correction. I'll still be around but I'm committed to becoming a bit more efficient with my time. How that plays out, we will see what we will see. I know I need a morning routine that does not include logging in online too soon. I simply need more time for myself and less time online. I'll balance it out a little better and see how it goes!
