Less is More.

What could you do less of?

That’s an easy one to answer.

I could do much less of scrolling through social networks, mostly X and Facebook and to a lesser extent Bluesky.

I panic if I haven’t my phone and can’t check if there is any breaking news.

Once I start scrolling I find it hard to stop.

One tweet leads to another and the tweet may contain a link to an interesting article and I’m engaged for quite a while.

I used to reply to tweets but there are so many trolls on line, I’ve cut back a lot and so I just compose a tweet but rarely send it. Elon Musk has a lot to answer for.

I could also do less worrying. I worry about my family when they are out at night. I find it hard to sleep until I know they are home safe. I’m better not knowing when they go out. I’m sure the last thing they think about is granny lying awake wondering if they’ve got home safely.

So I could do less scrolling and a lot less worrying.
