I'm not sure about the fast internet anymore. The internet is cancer and getting worse.

    I did it for nearly 3 years with limited access.

    You get over it eventually and start living life instead of watching other people live theirs.

    I can't wait to unplug again.

    Why did you disconnect? Because of location or work or what?

    A friend inherited off-grid property. I was already into the idea of homesteading and survivalism and had been building those skills sets for years. What started as a little bit of helping on the weekends turned into full time living. I didn't think I could do it and it was hard.

    But now I know what I'm capable of and how much nicer life is when you live it. I've been back in regular society for a few years and my phone is still on 'do not disturb' mode all the time.

    ‘do not disturb’ mode is a must. my brain can't focus on any single activity if i constantly expect to be interrupted while doing it.

    Yeah i have notifications silenced as they are a stupid distraction.

    I have a tablet for work that I rarely use so I leave it for the kids to play on. Everytime i look at it there is hundreds of notifications from games they play. How are the kids meant to get anything done if they keep getting interrupted.

    I think you are confusing the internet with people.
