7PS: How to (kinda) disappear 👋🏽

Published 6 months ago • 1 min read

Read time: 1 minute, 287 words.

At the beginning of every year, I kind of disappear.

I delete social media & messenger apps on my phone.

I even deactivate some of my accounts.

I don't want folks to know I exist.

(Other that you, of course.)

I need to make time to create.

I'm also a big believer in this app, which helps me vanish.

With focus, everything feels possible.
