I also like this because:

a) PACKIDGE!

ii) It's the first screenshot from a phone I've seen in ages where the battery isn't at 4% remaining and I'm silently anxiously screaming CHARGE YOUR DAMN PHONE! ๐Ÿ˜†

Yeah me too.

The cast, the production, it's all just -chef's kiss-

I just try and block out who is actually behind it.

Firefly/Serenity are still among my all-time faves. Great fun storytelling.

Well 'fun' unless you're a leaf on the wind, of course... :|

Spare?

Our deliveries are usually 'OK, 2 metres should do it.'

Then, many hours of shovelling later, 'Damn, guess we better order more...'

This is something I've been working on for about 18 months now, and it definitely helps.

When I get home from work my phone goes in a different room and I don't touch it at all. No laptop or iPad either. I usually read once our 5 year old is in bed and the dishes and chores are done and I get the chance to sit down.

I flew to North Qld and back a few weeks ago, no devices or screens.

My 'online' time is during breaks/lunch at work and that's it. I deleted Instagram a couple of years ago and haven't had Facebook since 2008.

I drive to work and back with NOTHING playing, no podcasts or music or anything, 3-4 hours of driving per day.

Being 'in the moment rather' than being attached to a screen or 'content' has really helped. Although I've found it DOES make me irrationally angry when I walk around (or even am at other family member's houses) and everyone is glued to their screens. Not to mention the at least 1 person a month I see watching YouTube while driving on the freeway...
