Zach! So happy you're writing here. This was such a thoughtful and inspiring piece to read. It's crazy how we don't realize how numb we actually are to the true highs and lows of life in the present moment until left without an escape. What a beautiful (and brave!) journey you're on. Can't wait to read more reflections from your new low-tech life.
Happy to see you on this platform, friend. This (wonderful) reflection reminds me a lot of the journey Johann Hari takes in "Stolen Focus". I also recommend "How to Do Nothing" by Jenny Odell to touch on these topics. Also gonna let Austin Wiggins know you're on this topic. We've had some great conversation about relationship with tech and digital detoxes. It reminds me a lot of what I was exploring in this one: https://soundingslightlyoff.substack.com/p/presence-and-place
Maybe we all get on a call together sometime and discuss it.
HELL YEAH BROTHER! Beautiful piece. I was wondering when the dumb-phone revolution would start. You've inspired me to resume my 6 month social media detox I was on last year. See ya in the emails! <3
