Toot

Written by 256k on 2025-01-24 at 13:31

For the month of February, much like how people do dry january as a detox from alcohol, I want to use the month as a detox from the internet... or more specifically, the internet distractions like social media, videos, games..etc.

I've held a belief that boredom is the drive for creativity, but in this modern age boredom is almost a relic of the past. there is no shortage of ways to distract yourself and consume empty brain cycles (I also believe that this is by design, that the distractions are optimized for it in order to control us but that's beside the point)

I want to really allow myself to be bored. to have no choice but to indulge in creativity as a boredom escape. whether it's music or art or coding or learning something... I want to allow myself the distraction free environment to be able to do so.

It's going to be difficult considering my day job involves being a web developer and it's too easy to just fall onto old habits. like a cigarette smoker wanting to quit while working as a cigarette rolling operator.
