#theme of

So I don't really do "New Year Resolutions," I do the (popularized by CGPGrey) is Yearly Themes. A theme, usually one word, that you would like to focus on for a year or a season that tries to tune to towards life goals.

This years theme is "The year of touching grass"

With the alternate title of "the year of PLEASE DO ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN BE ON YOUR PHONE OR IPAD!"Don't worry this isn't an anti-tech or phone post. Just… man the doom scrolling was bad this year. and that needs to change if I want to accomplish anything.

I wrote a long blog post about this here linked here: Rambles well written, but the highlights are:

limiting my time on Social Media (and treating Bluesky and the like more of a promotion platform)

using forums instead

making a youtube playlist for when I do chores or workout

use rss instead of apps to follow people where I can

I would also like to compartmentalized my life, both in terms of living spaces and possibly even devices. I would have added that to the blog but I forgot

I also called it the year of touching grass because I want to get out more, even if its going to a thrift store, or the library. I can't keep spending all my time in a condo. Hell when it gets warmer, I need to implement "sun breaks" while I'm at the condo which would be smoke breaks but just chill outside on the balcony.

Long story short I need to do more than just scroll on my phone to desktop, and social media has been such a damper that I want to not use it like I have been.
