The whole point is to clear up digital space from hoarding music new to me and old. I started and currently am in the year 2000. There are 42 albums and I have listened to 6, a couple being my new favorites.
I think it's cute Wally holding a pride flag and not creepy.
I am still using my paper planner every day. This month I have filled 25/30 days. I also used up the notes sections/small calendars. This month was busy so next month probably won't be as filled.
What I put in my calendar:
I quit putting the weather in there as it didn't matter as much now and I had to look it up on the internet more often than not. I am unsure if I want to keep crossing out the numbered dates.
In July I am going to try out the weekly spreads. The official weekly spread in the planner doesn't start until the last week of July transitioning into August. I am thinking of folding some printer paper and inserting it somewhere. My goal is to use the weekly spreads for personal projects to track.
I scraped every audio/video-audio made for Welcome Home and made them into an unofficial soundtrack album. Currently 98 files. Here is the link to listen and download.. Will add more with each new update.
I remember back in the late 2000s Viacom would tell kids to go touch grass for a few hours once a year and not show anything on anything they owned. I hated it back then and flipped to a different channel. And here we all are in 2026 where internet outages happen somewhat frequently and we run to our nearest working social media site to complain about being stopped.
Exact quote from an admin:
>The change you're noticing is related to an experiment we're running. The For you feed is meant to surface content from communities you’ve joined, in addition to personalized recommendations, while the Following feed will only surface content from communities you've joined.
>Since the Following feed is live in this experiment, the option to disable recs is not listed in settings. I'd suggest swapping to the Following feed if you don't want to see those recommendations!
On a personal note: All of this is a complete lie in my use case by the way. 'For You' is only showing me stuff from communities I have visited in the past but never subscribed to. 'Following' gives me nothing from my smaller subs and just recommended communities to add.
I have a journal to log my favorite media updates. I was going to use printed photos as stickers then felt I was waiting too long. Instead I drew the pictures instead. It kept me occupied and happy for a few hours. Last time I did this was nearly a decade ago.
I use my planner multiple times a day still and all is well. I tried to check off things that I have done on my calendar but then felt anxiety kick in. Unless a chore is absolutely needed to be done I do not put it on the calendar or it would cause more anxiety. Anything with no due date gets put in the notes section.
Another new hurdle is with weather. The weather is different per website by a few degrees sometimes. Sometimes if I go too far in advance with writing in the degrees it could change drastically leaving me with outdated information. I also found myself having to look up hourly temperature to know when I should turn off my air conditioner for the night.
My new solution is to write weather down in short increments and use another piece of paper to write down any important daily temperatures drops, etc. This will be temporary until I can get to August which starts the weekly daily spreads.
One of my biggest weakness with browsers is that I have a billion tabs open at the same time. My pc tabs are not too bad with maybe 5 open at a time. Tablet browsing is completely different. I can easily reach 100 tabs because I want to save things to read later or forget what's opened. Suddenly I am swimming in tabs that I am not using ending up in getting closing them all at once.
I installed tab limit browser extensions to keep only two tabs open. I chose two tabs instead of one because I often need two websites open for various tasks. This will force me to choose what to do and exit sites that I have no need to be on if I want to do something else.
The hardest part is that I will have to switch to using firefox on my tablet since that is the only trusted browser that allows extensions.
Last week I brought a cheap planner on Amazon to replace my Google calendar. It's a standard sized 2 year academic calendar with: goals page, contacts, notes, holidays and plastic tabs. Since the weekly section of the planner doesn't start until July I am only using the monthly calendar of May, June, July. And currently, that is enough.
Colors is one if the reasons why I used a digital calendar for so long. So, I have a black gel pen for boring things, red gel pen for important things and colored pencils for reoccurring tasks/events.
What I put on my calendar:
When I will finally get to the weekly parts of the Calendar I will put in more detailed things such as work stuff, things I did, etc. Almost like a journal. Plus, each week has a premade priorities check list which will be helpful later on.
Why I used Google Calendar before:
The reason why a planner works for me now:
