Welcome to the community of so-called Digital Minimalists! We're community of people who seek for silence in such a noisy world and balance between real and digital worlds. Rules of this community include:

  1. Be honest with yourself and others. Seriously, if you're not honest with yourself and pretend to be someone else, you're not going anywhere. The first step to progression is acceptance, isn't it?
  2. Be polite to others and respects each others opinions. No matter what your thoughts about privacy, Big Tech, politics, nature and etc are, let's keep all discussions family-friendly and not overwhelm ourselves.
  3. Keep it theme-oriented. This community is not made to discuss politics, privacy-issues and climate change. It's about balance and harmony. We could discuss those topics if they are related to Digital Minimalism, but not if they're purely self-oriented. Thank you :)

Is the internet turning your brain into . . . popcorn? 🍿

This reminds me of a post I saw yesterday on the digital minimalism reddit sub, of someone speaking directly to “popcorn brain,” suggesting that it’s not only healthy, but okay to take your mind away from the endless notifications bombarding your phone. We’re very stuck in a reality that makes checking our phone the norm, but that can change with designated time away from it, like putting your phone in another room while you work, sleep, or honestly don’t care to respond to people for a few hours. That’s completely okay to do.
