Make Your Damn Bed

Fleetwood Mac lore runs DEEP and today we're breaking it down from the beginning.Part 1: Peter Green creates a band, does some bad drugs, and quits the band. The guitarist does some bad drugs, quits the band and joins a cult. The rest of the band keeps touring and putting out albums every six months because apparently there were also good drugs at the time.Part 2: The new guy has an affair with Fleetwood's wife so the band breaks up and Fake Fleetwood Mac takes over. The OG Fleetwood Mac sues their manager for their name. They settle out of court and hire Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks and record an album titled "Fleetwood Mac" which does really well. Like, chart-topping well. They're facing increased pressure to create a follow up hit and all of their personal relationships start to fall apart. They decide to air their dirty laundry and create Rumours which does even better than their other smash hit.

There's been an uptick in far-right/christo-fascist content on almost all of my various feeds lately. I've personally got a VERY niche "far left"/"abolitionist" social media feed, but recently this wildly problematic propaganda has been sneaking into every corner. But it's not just me. Trump appointed a grifter to sell "prayer" that would heal your illnesses and give you wealth for the ridiculously egregious cost of $1000. This person is an official white house representative being paid very well by our hard earned tax dollars. Mark Wahlberg and Gwen Stefani are selling a subscription based prayer app. A pastor sold "God Coin" crypto scheme and rug pulled his supporters. Spoiler alert: God's grace isn't hidden behind a paywall.

Today I'm sharing a few techniques that can help to build a healthier relationship with me and my screens. Putting a rubber band or hair tie around your phone is a cheap and super effective way to increase your mindfulness of your usage.20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, take a 20 second break looking at something 20 feet away. Having an alternative available builds the muscle of doing other activities rather than scrolling every single time our hands are idle. Turn off notifications. Delete apps you don't want to spend so much time on. Set screentime limits. Use an app to gamify your habits. Don't use your phone as an alarm clock. Put your phone on grayscale. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness strategies, and somatic therapy may help in certain circumstances, as well.
