My screen time for today is still under 2 hours. Three days without reddit and youtube really frees your mind by a surprising lot. I still tend to bring my kindle without actually reading it, but the amount of podcast I am able to listen to has greatly increased.
Today’s photo is still a far cry from my 2017 365 Project, but that is to be expected for a no-zero-days post.
