It was a hard, but insightful month. I hope I can stay aligned.
Digital De-clutter Week 3: The Big Takeaway
Yesterday I broke down and bought a paper paper. (Real newspapers are allowed on this Digital Declutter.) I got The Sunday New York Times. It was an irritating and filthy experience. And I’m not even referring to the content. I forgot how newspapers make your hands black, and how you can’t adjust the font or … Continue reading Digital De-clutter Week 3: The Big Takeaway
Digital Declutter Week 2: News Creep
I’m succumbing to a little bit more “news feed creep” than is probably “legal.” It’s hard to escape.

The Yoga of Kettlebells
I won’t pick up a kettlebell here at home and swing it. I will only swing a kettlebell or do a squat or a push-up or a sit-up if I pay someone to watch me. Lifting weights and all that jazz is not something I will do here at home, alone. Even though I have … Continue reading The Yoga of Kettlebells
