# Towards better computer usage
2021-01-10

I'm bored. I like computers and the interntet, but
I'm bored by them. I either use it as a TV -
watching Youtube, read a couple of news sites,
some social media, playing games.

That's not interesting at all. I do some smollnet.
I joined a pubnix. That's a bit more interesting.
I'd like to create my own digital garden -
wathever that means. I'm intrigued by the
"heirloom" computer. I think I have a lot of data
(if I look hard enough) that's worth keeping. I
want to put that in order.

I think I like writing. I'm not sure what's the
point but that's another thing.

At some point I want to:
- explore more of Gemini/Gopher
- get to know some people, maybe even make friends
- learn some interesting technology/language that
  I wont be using at work


All that (and maybe I will think of some more
things) is something I can do to make computers
iteresting again. If I'm not doing any of this,
there is no point in sitting in front of it beyond
work.



Unlocking my brain.

I already tried to quit filling my brain with crap
once. It worked quite nicely. The clarity I
experienced was amazing.

I need to go back to that. And this time, for
ever.

I'm sure there are a lot of peiple that live a
mindlessly their whole life. But I'm not going to.
I don't want that.

I feel like I *am* using 10% of my brain. At least
outside of work. Let's get that to 50%.

Let's unlock my creativity.
