Giving up life mechanics
|
Digital modernity is the biggest threat to the human condition as we know it. Modern life is becoming more digital, which makes it different in kind and degree than the past. Mechanical OverloadThe difference is the mechanization of our lives has become essential for basic survival:
We live in an era characterized by an overflow of information and endless choices. The responsibility to understand and act on this information and options is continually growing. We deal with information about our homes, businesses, health, children, pets, nutrition, holidays, and more. We search for and save information to manage these responsibilities effectively. Surfacing the ElementsIf we don’t address the mechanical elements, they remainhidden and turn us into robotic beings, stressed and constantly racing to match machines. The solution is to bring these mechanizations to the foreground and manage them effectively. Doing so allows us to regain our humanity. By putting them in a dashboard, we can step away and return to our natural rhythm. People often postpone addressing mechanics until it becomes a tragic emergency. The life I want to live is the opposite of mechanical. It’s warm, informal, intuitive, spontaneous, and free. When mechanical tasks are not handled systematically, it can mechanize relationships, responsibilities, and every aspect of your life. Life on TrackI created a Notion Template full of life mechanics for you to bring to the surface, so you can step away and return to your natural way of being. If you like this and want to access the rest of the templates, courses, and the pieces to the puzzle, here’s the link to join the waitlist for when I open the doors again to join the Elite Digitalist Club soon. See you inside. |

The Overthinker Thinking is useful, only sometimes. Most of the time, it is nothing but an interference. When used as a tool, it will take you from point A to point B. When it uses you as its slave, it will keep you running in circles. Forever. The overthinker is drowning in thought. The overthinker is imprisoned by intellectualization. The overthinker is stuck in survival, not living for one moment. In the information era, society overvalues thinking, intellect, and logic. Yet, your daily...
Survival “All civilizations suffer shocks, only those that absorb the shocks survive.” — Stewart Brand. Absorbing shocks is key to survival. These shocks come from change. Change is how the future invades our lives, and when it outpaces us, it brings struggle. As the world grows more complex, our days fill with endless distractions, chores, and obligations. These constant interferences pull us away from our Native State — our natural way of living. Survival Mode happens when we are saturated...
When you look closely at your life for an extended period of time. Be it months, years, or even decades. You become aware of something. The only constant in life is change. But change doesn't come in consistent, calculated, predictable doses. "There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen"- Lenin. Some changes don't affect you at all. Others affect you for a while. But a few of them, alter the whole trajectory of your life. Things like Moving to a new city...
