Internet fasting Day 4 : New Music gear and saying goodbye to stuck backpacking friends
I’m really getting into this rhythm of no YouTube or social media until 8 PM. I actually feel like not much has changed, I’m just being way more productive and proactive.
Last week I had bought a delay pedal, drive pedal and amp for about $150 used. I figured it was worth the investment, Cause usual the same stuff would cost about $400...found out it didn’t sound so good with acoustic guitar so I told some friends I was looking for a cheap electric. Today I got a message from a friend with a used goods shop,nice guitar for $45! A steal! So I spent under $200 for a whole set up. All I’d need is enough space and some soundproofing, and a midi keyboard and I could already set up a home studio. For now I’m happy jamming on delay!
So I spent 3 hours playing guitar yesterday. Then I broke my internet fasting for a bit just to finish the deadpost curation post of the week. Then I stretched and made some ads for my classes.
Today I continued putting up online ads for my coaching. Did some exercise, wrote a page for my novel. Picked up some tax documents.
Just finished my only class today.
A friends hostel has had 4 long term guests these past 2 months and no one else. Two of them are leaving this week. They’ve been awesome to hang out with and I’m gonna miss them a lot. They’re the only people I’ve been meeting with these few weeks aside from one other friend who I go on late night walks with. Tonight I’ll go say goodbye to the one whose leaving first. After next week I really won’t be going out at all. Just like the rest of y’all.
Oh, except Friday, I’ll go check out an apartment. The place I live now is a box and I would love to have more space and sunlight. Gotta find an extra 3 students to pay for it. I think I can do that!
Tomorrow I also have just one class at 7 pm so I hope yo get a lot done during the day!
Hello @whatamidoing, Greetings from Ghana. What program are you doing? I can see you are keeping up with the fasting. Its worth it. They say, consistency creates habits
Program? Just spending 8-10 hours a day with no social media or youtube :-D
@porters here on behalf of @NaturalMedicine – Nice to see that internet fasting is working for you! I find it really important to find that balance between being in Cyberspace and then in the "real or Natural" world! Here's to finding 3 more students so you can make your move!
, which you can read about here. There's 100 HIVE on offer & lots of LOTUS to win!
Thanks! I'm still not where I want to be as far as FLOW, but I feel I'm almost halfway there!
Sounds like things are going pretty good for you. Hope an extra three students appear so you can get the new apartment :D
:-D I gotta drop by the chat soon!
This could be a daily dairy - as if someone is writing from the prison (in a good way)!
Yes. Books written from prisons often turn out to be the best. Even part of the bible was written from prison
Damn. Never knew that. Pretty cool!

@sidwrites a reclusive place where you can shape your thoughts and get lost in time is a creative well either nightmare, because of the lack of feedback, or a well because inspiration is always infinite and being in tune and out of the noise helps with the signal.
This is the best prison I ever imagined :-D But yeah it does kind of feel like that. Can't wait to be free and 100x more awesome
Reading this makes me happy. Exciting changes and increased creativity!
I try to do the opposite ( in a way ), to stop internetting and screen staring around 8PM
but it's still a challenge for me.
Also throughout the day, I try to be more and more aware of what I'm doing on the Internet and how it makes me feel.
See you around!
I hope all my posts make everyone happy! Your posts make me happy too, and i am not just saying that
