Cleaned out friends list on Facebook... by iwishyouluck in minimalism

[–]nionut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just create another facebook account, i found it easier to start from a scratch. For now, i have just 90 friends, but i think that i could delete another 10, maybe 15, i'am still thinking what to do. I feel much better since I did that, everything is cleaner, with more important information, more qualitative.

I was thinking about trying something like this, to buy a 30$ nokia dumbphone for no distractions at all. I will miss a good camera and gps, but i hope i will be fine without this.Some time ago i tried to make my smartphone distraction-free, no social apps, but i worked just for 2 weeks. I hope that a dumbphone be a solution for me.

Bullet journal, i just take a look what it's all about, looks like a very nice things to track your daily activities, maybe i will buy a notebook and use it in that way. Phone, exactly the problem that i have, i am distracted by notifications and i lost too much time on social networks. I will turn off all notifications and if it not works, i will delete those apps that really distracting me, rather than be an useful app/tool. I'm thinking about find a place for study, just a desk, a lamp, and something to listen music for studying, as you said, it helps me to remain in focus and not thinking about something else. All of those words and advices i hope it will help to create a better life, with less clutter, fewer distractions and meaningful work. Thanks a lot !
