I wish they shared some links, regardless how small and unfinished the work is! Seeing the process is often more interesting to me than the finished product instead. Also, it’s an easier way of getting more focus: if it’s out there, it’s real and not 100% under your control. (We tend to be more scared of the emotions/feelings we might might experience rather than what would cause them)
I clicked in the hope I could read more about these products for unplugging...
Since I can't read about any unplugging products I'll tell you about one of mine. It's a bicycle caravan. You put it behind your bicycle, then you cycle to the forest, there you pop it up. You can relax in nature, unplug a little, and even make coffee or pancakes on the portable stove.
Im working at it from another angle, I live in a rural area, just cam in from putting the horse in her stall while we serinaded by a pack of coyotes in there full glorious madness, but there is no money out here, no nothing except even wilder stuff in walking distance, but now there is cellular internet, and the ability to sell my skills, and even buy stuff on line, and get good enough weather information to plan outdoor work and travel.
But it's making money as an indipendent small business owner on line,that is for me
making the off line, off the grid, off the radar life possible.
So the idea is carry a coyote whacking stick when I am in the woods, and plug in to optimise whatever advatage I can gain* from the truely vast market online.
* a customer told me that when they asked grok where to get a custom shower curtain hanger, it sent them to me, through what must be a result of LLM's realy and actualy eating everything everybody says making the whole idea of bieng unplugged or plugged in
sort of the same.
We must stop pretending that we can implement restrictions that will keep us from becoming unfocused. You can delete your account, but you can always recreate it. You can add facebook.com to your etc hosts file, but then you can always re-edit that file to allow those domains. Focus is a mental discipline. The only way to focus is to focus on focusing.
I completely get where this person is coming from (being interested in lots of things, diving down rabbit holes and then losing passion and moving onto the next interesting thing).
It feels like minimising distractions is one piece of the puzzle, but the other is having something that is going to help you to stay focussed and complete the goal/task that is right in front of you.
This isn't a product, but on the topic of unplugging, we decided to replace our TV with a bookshelf. One of the best results of this decision was it allowed us to rearrange the living room in such a way that wasn't focused on the TV and was instead focused on being social.
I maintain a list of projects I made for my own well-being: https://untested.sonnet.io/notes/projects-and-apps-i-built-f...
