      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.
