Bye bye for a while

Slowly i leave the internet. I deleted my fb, bought a Nokia, left all groups in my Whats app… stopped playing for spotify and my sl1200 turntables are in the living room again.

Next step, leave elektronauts for a while. This weekend it was very helpfull again, its a fantastic community, friendly and helpful… unfortunatly too much about GAS i think… but maybe thats just human.

I dont like the one arm bandid style notification stuff, when i take my iPhone, i immediately go to elektronauts and i look if there is a notification… yes… bingo… and i loose myself in this again. (This is called Zoning in psychology)

More focus is my main goal, i think it helps me most. Concentration went up with this months without all sources.

Thank you all, c u soon

do one.

I wish you the best of times zoning on the 1200’s instead!

Thing with the internets is, it will be around whenever you want. So enjoy as much time off it as feels the best to you.

Hey Wouzer, one month it’s just 2.678.400 seconds, don’t try to count them, live them !

Best of luck! It’s a good decision, but we’re gonna miss you. Welcome back anytime.

a few months ago i took a break: minimized my web contact for awhile, and permanently deleted social media on my work devices. the process has helped my sanity and productivity even more than i’d hoped. :wink: breathe deeply during your time away!

Smart move, enjoy.

Bit of an own goal that - there was no way you could post that then not be curious as to what people said about it.

If you see my name, ‘sl1200mk2’ you’ll know my most favorite bit of gear/kit that’s ever existed. Good luck and best wishes.

May you come back from your hiatus and see all the replies eager to have you back.

Take care, fellow elektronaut
