      This right here. Just disappear into the woods and forget about the doomscroll in its entirety.

      If one day you wake up in your cabin to a bright flash in the sky so be it, and least you had a good life.

      I did it for nearly 3 years with limited access.

      You get over it eventually and start living life instead of watching other people live theirs.

      I can’t wait to unplug again.

          A friend inherited off-grid property. I was already into the idea of homesteading and survivalism and had been building those skills sets for years. What started as a little bit of helping on the weekends turned into full time living. I didn’t think I could do it and it was hard.

          But now I know what I’m capable of and how much nicer life is when you live it. I’ve been back in regular society for a few years and my phone is still on ‘do not disturb’ mode all the time.

              Yeah i have notifications silenced as they are a stupid distraction.

              I have a tablet for work that I rarely use so I leave it for the kids to play on. Everytime i look at it there is hundreds of notifications from games they play. How are the kids meant to get anything done if they keep getting interrupted.
