I often read about bloggers who, to protect their mental health, tend to completely remove news from their daily information flow. They manage to stay uninformed and escape daily life by eliminating the noise of things happening in the world. In this way, they improve their mood and approach to the day, they write.
During last week, being away for a family trip, committed to walking and to visiting and to playing, I didn’t use my phone, didn’t check never the email, didn’t watch RSS feed, social things or podcasts. Absent on everything. Voluntary darkness on the news, on the tech update or any web content or curiosity stuff. I deleted any routine. And this liked to me.
