I'm so glad this spoke to you - thanks for reaching out to let me know! We do a similar kind of bruschetta during the summer when it's hot. It's easy, refreshing, and delicious.
Having been amongst many people while travelling to and from to the UK this last 3 weeks, compared to my quiet rural life here in Spain, I could not help but notice the constant mobile addiction for mindless scrolling, not only those in my close family, both young and old, but most strangers on the planes and buses were all consumed and no one talked. No one read anything on paper either! I felt so odd one out for reading my book or a magazine. You are so right that using the PC stops the scrolling but keeps you connected well enough. Good for you!
However, as an avid tarot user and travelling without my beloved Tarot cards, I had to recommend the App, Fool's Dog Tarot. A free Tarot App for either a simple, random daily card draw, use a set reading inside the App, or create a completely unique reading of your own. And it has a great journal to save them all in. It's not possible to scroll on it but it is possible to learn tarot card meanings, buy cheap online decks to use on the App from the library and use your decks with privacy and without the need to lay out the cards somewhere.
It’s unbelievable what a difference there is between social media on the phone and social media on the computer. Our brains sure are funny sometimes.
I haven’t gotten rid of everything on my phone - I still have a few real estate and shopping apps that I browse occasionally, but those are much easier to step away from.
Great article! I just spent five days with very bad internet/mobile connection and that made me aware of how often I reach for my phone! I like to believe that I don’t scroll a lot, but I very often have something «I need to find out».
The 'need' to find out is unreal. Even now, almost a month after deleting the apps, I still find myself thinking about something I 'need' to look at right now. It's almost never anything urgent, and by the time I get back to my laptop I've forgotten what it is.
Mine too! I used to open the encyclopedia to a random page and just read. I was the kid that got in trouble for reading past bedtime; I think I just love information and learning.
I like your idea of having a system in place for creativity. It definitely erases one huddle. Love!
I keep recommending a simple recipe of cherry tomatos, garlic, and basil.
It's so fresh and quick, but feels so lush in this summer season.
Thank you for sharing this article. It's a lovely reminder of how small moments make a difference.

Exactly! That was my experience tjese days, too.
There’s always something to find out for us curious artists. I think that’s kind of ok really. It’s not so idle scrolling really.
It's definitely a great tool to have available, especially for us creatives. I think maybe it's just not healthy for me.
My favourite books from childhood untill we got google were encyclopedias…
