Could You Go Back to An Analog Life?

How long do you think you would last?

Can you imagine waking up to the sweet sound of birds singing instead of that annoying buzz of your phone? No scrolling through endless feeds or emails before your feet hit the floor — just you feeling the movement of life as you start your day.

Picture this:

You’re making breakfast, actually tasting every bite without TikTok videos distracting you. Maybe you’re flipping through a newspaper, you picked up from your lawn.

And then, on your way to work, you’re not plugging in your earbuds. Oh, no you turn on the radio in your car to a local station at a low volume. You roll down the windows to your car about two inches as the sights and sounds of your drive mix with the early morning jams.

Once at the office (or wherever your work happens), it’s a world of face-to-face chats and handwritten notes rather than endless email chains or Slack notifications.

Just good old-fashioned human connection and the satisfying scratch of pen on paper.

Oh and lunchtime? It’s a break to truly connect with colleagues or friends, sharing stories without the constant ping of your phone.
