January 9 - 10, 2021 tech sabbath: high-level snapshot
- 25-hours without digital tech: Saturday ➡️ Sunday
- Tech exceptions: iPhone dream journal (only while sleeping) and laptop for yoga (only for a 45 minute class; in the middle of a 40-day series that I didn't want to interrupt)
- Lots of reading (Henry Miller), writing (pen to paper), tarot card mediation, kundalini yoga, talking with Dave (@gorum), some moving prep
- General feelings of satisfaction, calm energy. Sense of time slows, and I feel like I'm entering my own time-space. I'm never bored. In fact, my inclination is to not pick up any devices at the end of the sabbath - something to pay attention to/ponder further.
- Meta: It still seems too early to draw any conclusions from my tech sabbaths. I need to continue the activity, wait and see what kind of insights emerge. So far, I really enjoy the felt-sense of time during the sabbath. It's different from when I'm more plugged in - it's calm, no sense of rush or destination. I do think that journaling during the sabbath is good - I'll continue to do this - I can use this content as "data" for further self-reflection over time.
