Days without turning off site blockers: 0 Yes, unfortunately I did turn off my site blocker (for the DUMBEST THING)! Been doing some creative free writing + finished Pluribus! The freewriting has mostly been word vomit on my notes app. Will try shop around for a physical notebook tomorrow.

Days without turning off site blockers: 1 Slow day today. Moving work spots helped but wow, it was hard. Didn't feel much of a desire for 'fun tech time', other than listening to music on my MP3 player. Just holding out until reading week for a reset, lol

Instead of a collection of links I found interesting, I decide to pay it forward and send them an email. Sometimes, I hear back! The majority of these links are gems I found on the Discovery page. Trending is a bit to fussy for me at times. Last week, people were ribbing each other over the use of capitals! Yes,...

This week was hectic!(1) Now that I have some downtime I can restart my watch, create a new BlockSite account & a rough draft of a blocking schedule. I saw this from blogger Eghone.

All my friends have my phone number but only one speaks to me regularly (without prompting with a link), and it took ages for her to realize that I didn't want to be bombarded with TikToks. I just wanted to know what...

There's so much I want to do lately. I'm really excited about the projects I've been working on, but it has been difficult to find time to do them -- including blogging. Originally, I thought it had to do with having a project-heavy semester, but that's had the opposite effect; I find myself feeling more inspired...
