Remind HN: Unplug, take a break and go outside

17 pointsby hiabout 2 years ago
Climbing the vertical big wall learning curve of tech progressions can be overwhelming and exhausting.<p>I just wanted to remind remind myself and other&#x27;s on here that we can collectively progress faster by letting our minds and bodies recover from these weeks that feel like decades of progression.<p>I&#x27;m unplugging, taking a break, getting outside and I&#x27;d love for you to join me.

There is a phrase my kids use for this: go touch grass. I think it comes from video game culture where someone spends 247 playing games and never goes outside. It’s meant as like an insult. Have you even touched grass today?

Love the comedy club near me because they take away your phone at the door – I&#x27;m always surprised how many times I instinctively check my empty pocket during the show

Thinking of getting a dog and this is one of my reasons why I want to do that.<p>I started doing 30min walks before and after my workdo(wfh, no kids) and it’s helping my mental health a lot.

Good call. Thank you for the reminder. I think I’ll go to the local pub tonight, have a beer and listen to some live music.

Just went out to do some shopping and returning. Man I can&#x27;t tell wife I have a day off without her dropping to-do list on me. I better not tell her next time.<p>I need to come back and plug myself back into the metaverse.

I try to take a quick walk without my phone at least once a day. Helps a lot.
