I've wanted to go on a digital diet..but not really.
Seems like a good idea. A digital diet means more awareness of the surroundings, especially people. People that are important to me, starting with my wife.
Yes, I've wanted to put my main iPhone down so that I could listen when others speak. However, the norm to browse through an iPhone or iPad is perfectly acceptable in almost all settings. In group meetings, I make it a point to bring my iPad and personal hot spot. There is always blank spaces that can be fed with digital updates. The exception is when I am actively involved. Even at those moments, I have had to set up video phones on isolated tripods for recordings.
It's a new digital world of business and it steps into my personal life also. Recently, on a vacation trip, I was taking video streams for later editing and depicting our trip. I enjoy this.
Since using my Apple Watch, I have given even more attention to the interaction of my devices and its possibilies for creativity, time savings, and new digital experiences. I enjoy this, also.
Gradually, I'm now noticing that I've mastered these digital interactions as much as I need to do so, for now. Software releases give me a burst of discoveries. Come September.
It helps that the weather outdoors is pleasant and that encourages going for walks and sitting at a park bench, simply people watching.
The Apple Watch can send me whatever notifications are really important. It also helps that the AW doesn't respond fast enough with USA today, or NYT or any news app. I get the weather, time and location whenever I need that information. So, if I don't get info from the numerous apps on the AW quickly, it doesn't matter. I stopped reaching for my iPhone and just enjoy the moments. I stopped bringing my iPad.
This is significant for me.
I can now control myself from myself and enjoy life moments. The Apple Watch is helping me by not working like an iPhone.
I am enjoying this.
