A simple printable calendar with the full year on a single page

I figured I should just post this somewhere so I can make future reference to how I feel about the matter, anytime someone asks me about such-and-such video, 3D, game or “dynamic” multimedia system. Don’t get me wrong, I like me some illustrations, photos, movies and music.

Menschen, die die Liebe zum Minimalismus verbindet.

Wil brings up doomscrolling addiction, and one thing he’s been trying lately as an alternative (trying to train yourself to recognize the impulse and then doing something creative instead) in his latest post.

For me while that’s very good advice that I’m really happy to pass on, it doesn’t always work because one of the appeals of scrolling over being creative or doing chores or doing healthy things or even over other cultural consumtion over binging TV or reading novels is the lowered stakes. The trashiness of scrolling or YouTube is itself inherently relaxing, some how. We fritter our lives away on things we regret spending our time on (like reading web forums or rewatching old YouTube clips) because doing real things is scary or requires focus or “depletes” willpower. And I’m always looking for new ways to fix that because ultimately it’s a problem I haven’t entirely solved. I keep relapsing.
