Moving to ‘offline’ part 1

Today I start my series of moving to ‘offline’ that I have been trying to create since the start of January. Let us dig in my past first, I am a very digital minded person since I have never been good socially in person unless in my safe areas like home or work. Secondly, I have also been very bad at writting since I often have spelling mistakes or forget words completely when writting something plus I was very slow. This combi made me use a computer a lot and I recently started to feel ‘dead’ inside the computer world so I decide to try move offline. Don’t worry I will still be here and other places but might cut it down a bit which leads me to my first attempt book calendar and lifeplanner. I got them late last year and I could feel that writing down in them help me wanna do things again and not feel ‘dead’ like before. I will talk more about those in my later parts because today I will start by screentime.

Screen time

Screen time is how much time you use on your device daily and if you have an iPhone, the settings is also called ‘screen time’ and that is where I begun. The screen time allows you to see what and how much you use the phone, guess most people use it to control their kids but I will use it for myself and since I do not have any kids I will ship that part.

Step 1: Control

Before I felt ‘dead’ by online then I have on a longer period felt that I have used way too much time on Reddit so when I found an app named one sec which works by ‘blocking’ the apps and websites you do not want to use a lot I was happy. It ‘blocks’ your apps and website by pausing your action for amount of time to be sure you wanna go there. It helps me a lot but I have been a bit lazy lately so I just ‘unblock’ it. But together with screen control it can become even better since then you can tell yourself that you only want an amount of time inside that app or website. So that is my control.

Step 2: Cut down

Starting today (4. Febuary), I will cut down my reddit use to 30mins a day, and at the moment I will allow myself to use all my apps and such on my phone for 6 hours a day on screen meaning if I do not use 6 hours figuring out what song I wanna hear I can hear unlimited music. if I have freinds online and they wanna chat I will go past that time but other unecessary apps I will avoid. To help me focus on things around me and things I will do I will also use forest app which helps me by planting a tree and block my access to unecessary apps for a period of time while killing the tree if you fail.

Step 3: Goal

My goal for all of this is to return to the ‘offline’ world and be more alive again. So I wanna go down 3 hours of phone use, plant lots of ‘trees’ and be more alive in real life

That was end of part 1, the apps mentioned is some created by other people that I have found and paid for by myself.

Eating meat

What are your feelings about eating meat?

Well I heard that this subject is a little sensitive to some people so let me start by saying I am eating meat and I eat everything else since I am not a picky eater at all. As for my feelings then I have nothing against vegans and many dishes of vegan food taste good so I am not against it at all. I also respect that people can be vegan and guess the main reason I am not vegan myself is because I am so fond of all kinds of food that would not like to miss if I did it. People can eat whatever they want as long it is legal but I have 2 questions I want answered myself?

  1. Why are some vegan going so crazy they try to shame people into stopping eating meat, if you did that to me then it would make me eat more meat.
  2. Why does vegan dishes often look similar to meat version of the dish, I get it is hard to make a burger with meat and without meat look different but why is the dishes so similar? Does it have to be or is it because so many vegans are not vegan by choice but need to ‘force’ it

Guess that my opinion on meat and I have vegan friends and it doesn’t change anything about them.

Bon appetit

Ria : i am a pescovegetarian. But i am ok if my family or friends eat meat. Jj even often cook vegan food. And thats cool. We all free people. Vegan cant force non vegan to be vegan. And non vegan cant force vegan to be non vegan. Just respect each other.

While there are many researches said meat has nutrition needed for our body, i choose to not meat because i love animals. So far my body is still okay and healthy. I feel more healthy because i often felt pain in my back neck when i was still eating meat. But all depends on our own body. Just know our body and choose proper meal and diet style for us.
