The love hate I have with tech
Lately I've been carrying around my Kindle and iPad Mini around the house. I leave the phone in the home office during the day and treat it like an old landline phone. Restricted to one space in the house.
It has worked off and on but I realize I have this love / hate relationship with technology. My brain continues to think of projects and quickly reminds me of the disappointments I will have if I spend time on it.
The Kindle gives me an excuse when I need a screen to distract myself. I suppose it is a healthier option compared to a phone but the iPad Mini pulls me back in. So of course I'm falling back into that cycle. Ugh. Feels like doom scrolling even though I'm reading books or blogs with it.
I see myself struggling each day and not pushing myself to go outside and take care of yard work. Though it is hot and muggy and smoky from the wildfires today. So, it probably isn't an excuse to stay indoors but a healthier option. I'm pretty sensitive to bad air.
I hate falling back to this state of mind. I guess I need to turn off tech today and try to take care of myself. Tomorrow is a work day so I need to appreciate this day off.
