I also had bad sleep habits some of them regarding with my "difficulty
to disconnect", particularly from themes and people which/who produce
joy, well-being and/or curiosity.
Now I'm trying to care more about attention as one of the most precious
resource in the times of attention/panoptic economy. I still fight
against some bad habits, but some practices are working:
* Phone is _always_ on non- interrupt mode, except when I'm explicitly
waiting for an important call or message.
* I have times for checking email, instant messages and times with
those closed.
* I use light filter apps on mobile devices late at night.
* I switch from seeing videos to listening podcast at bed.
* I use apps to read it later.
* I try to have moments/days of procrastination and others of focused
deep work.
* I organize tabs (clean my virtual desktop) before starting with
deep/focused work and activities.
* I'm aware that I'm training an algorithm that models myself to
panoptic corporations (Google, YouTube, Twitter, etc). I use
different devices for different usages and I try to reinforce a
divergent model of myself in some of them. I even plan to make a
light talk about "How to train your algorithm", in the local data
people group, which will be using images from "How to train your
dragon" and, in this AI panoptic economy the company behind would be
"Dreamworse" instead of "Dreamworks". It has been pretty fun to see
what the divergent model of myself teach me about the
decisions/searches I would never do myself, (but Youtube think I would).
I put already Quanta Mag in the future readings apps, to keep my focus
for today :-)
Cheers,
Offray
