RE: When the Technology Breaks... Take a Technology Break!
Excellent advice. I ended up tidying my studio. I did not quite abandon technology though. But as yourself, I did some arty work, but it was on photoshop- as a kind of play. I retouched an old magazine cover.
Perhaps I should have gone out into the nature or gone for a drive in my MX5 or something. Never mind, Steemit is back again ;)
But perhaps tomorrow I will upvote a tree in the forest behind my house :=)
Sounds like a good plan!
For me, it's just a matter of finding balance and remembering that worry is a pretty useless emotion. That doesn't mean we don't miss something... but some people lose sleep over things they have zero control over.
At one time, I made close to 90% of my income from eBay... in time, I learned to stop freaking out when some branch of the site would go offline for several hours. "We're sorry, the listing application is offline. Our developers are working on the issue. At this time we do not have an estimated time for full restoration." I learned to shrug and move on....
I agree about how worrying is a worthless pastime. I too was once a great worrier. I move on long since. You cant control everything so the best thing is to have alternatives and try to go with the flow.
Wow, 90% income from eBay that is impressive. Sounds like a good idea for a blog to me. I would be fascinated to read about that. Not because I want to earn from eBay lol, only that it interests me how people have found alternative forms of income i this modern internet world. Just a suggestion ;)
