Lowering number input sources in process Just back from a four-week vacation (out of the 5 weeks mandated by law in Sweden, btw. Sweden is great!) and as always this downtime has led to some reflection on my part. What I am about to write about, might just be me, but I found this useful and stress-relieving. maybe you do to. We ended up in a cabin out in the archipelago that had spotty network access, only landline TV and our kids were at camps or with friends. Yes, we went directly into retirement. We set the clock to remind us about the TV-show that started 21.30. What I noticed was how twitchy my fingers got, after just a few hours. I kept on picking up the phone, checking news or LinkedIn. When I went walking the dog, I kept trying to get some pod or music playing. Even at the beach reading a book, I also found myself trying to add some background music. When watching the show I desperately tried to also show something on YouTube or play a game etc. It didn’t take me too long to just stop in my track and just go “What am I doing? Why all of these inputs?”. https://www.marcusoft.net/2025/06/lowering-input-wip.html
