Day 6 of the Stoic New Year Challenge task is "take a digital detox."
I have some detox tools in place:
- auto-forward any sports news website to my calendar
- I only check emails once or twice a day
- I check Slack (work-related) messages when I'm online, but I do not install Slack on my mobile phone, so I won't check when I'm away
- I check non-Slack messages only once in a while to avoid distractions
- I do not use my smartphone much. The top 3 apps on my phone last week were: Audible, Google Map, and Nike Run Club
I've received the swag from ETHGlobal--the hackathon organizer--really nice to have swags for remote hackathons! First-rate hackathon organizers!
