_throwawayaway··on Ask HN: How will I stay informed when I delete my Twitter account?
I have a limited amount of accounts I check regularly and don't mind missing out on something. I guess bookmarks and browser history is my feed. Being logged in to the website or especially the app just triggers my addiction so i prefer this approach because I come for sources not the engagement.

_throwawayaway··on Ask HN: Happy people, what does a day, week and year in your life look like?
Simple life, less screen time with regular detox, see animals, smell flowers, visit mountains, live near the ocean, happy people around. Productivity is a non-goal.

_throwawayaway··on Always Be Quitting
> I think the logical think between "grow into a higher-level role" and "being disposable" is very weak if any?

It sounds counterintuitive but i see strong logic here -- by doing those 10 things you will definitely grow, perhaps into a high-level role.
