I talk, in part, about eliminating distractions — turning off the noise.

“That’s damn good advice”, I thought to myself.

So, I set up my blockers, on all my devices, to turn off the news.

It’s wonderful. I get the odd update from what passes by, but I’ve not seen anything really for well over a month.

This is a step change. I recommend trying it. (I have some little banter about Socrates avoiding the Forum that goes here, but I’ll skip that.)

The one thing left is the Fedi.

I’m happy to have it scrolling past as the days goes on, but I wake up with a couple of hundred new posts that, once thinking about it, I really don’t want to wade through.

For this, I’ve been using @adamghill’s https://fediview.com which you can set for (say) 12 hours, and it’ll give the important posts.

I’m now happily sponsoring @adamghill for fediview.com. It’s great. Again recommended. 🥰
