  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Simplicity
    What did you notice in implementing this challenge? Was it hard to choose other activities over screen time? How did you decide to spend your time?

    When I tried to implement change via removing screen time, my already set habits would creep up on me, which was the hardest part about diverting my attention towards other hobbies that I believed were less deserving at the moment. I think this challenge is a lot more meaningful to understand about myself than when I indulge in lack lustered goals people push onto me. Setting a boundary on myself is hard because I crush it almost immediately when I set it, so for the time I spent not being on my phone or computer I was partaking in hobbies I normally never had the time to. It felt different, but I welcomed the change.

    How is creativity a necessary ingredient for practicing simplicity?

    If we are not creatively finding ways to practice simplicity, it can often lead to boredom and a dull life. Finding ways that can be expressed by yourself through your own ways can help make the practice all more meaningful.
