Minimal

I live very minimally, and along with that is a minimalizing of my screen time. I was going to go full analog, until I realized that I would need to own more things: watch, books, stationary and so on. So I have just minimized my digital world. Decluttering Google Drive was the first step, when I realized how many folders I no longer accessed. Then came a new way of working by using cloud-based apps for my coding and photo editing. I uninstalled all extra software from the laptop and set up a complete cloud-based workflow. Then my phone. All apps left the home-screen, and now I have an analog-looking clock and five icons that change according to how much I use certain apps.

Bit by bit I have streamlined everything I do online and reduced my software choices to only those that get the job done: coding, photo-editing, writing. The rest of the time I paint.
