Nancy’s 2022 Top 5 Modes of Self-Regulation

<p>A few years ago I read &ldquo;How to Do Nothing,&rdquo; by Jenny Odell. It&rsquo;s about resisting the attention economy, which is a struggle for me. I wish that it wasn&rsquo;t.

I&rsquo;m in the app before I&rsquo;m consciously&nbsp;<em>in the app</em>. I cycle through seasons of removing all &mdash; the-things! all-the-socials! from my phone in a rather pathetic attempt to regulate myself and soon enough I&rsquo;m reinstalling them one by one, only to remove them again three months later.
