Hey everyone, I just want to leave a note here to let you know that I won't be around here for a while, as I've decided to take a break from the internet.

I've been doing a bunch of month-long personal challenges this year: I quit caffeine, started meditating, converted to cold showers, etc... But the challenge that had the biggest impact for me was quitting social media. It wasn't until I deleted my Facebook/Instagram/Strava accounts that I realised how much time I used to spend scrolling through posts made by people I didn't even know anymore. I gained a lot of time back, and became much more productive with my days.

The next logical step for me is to reduce the amount of time I spend online. As a freelancer, I obviously can't avoid it completely, but since I spend so much time in front of a screen for my job, my intention is to stay offline as much as possible outside of work. Since quitting social media, I've been paying more attention to how I spend my time - and all too often that involves a screen. So I'm taking some time out for myself, to focus on the things I haven't had time for. I'm going to get back into art and photography. I'm going to spend more time outside, do some volunteer work, try some new sports and get back into some old ones. I'm going to be more present in my own life and start doing the things I always talked about doing but never made the time for. I want to see how much I can achieve in what's left of the year.

So I'm taking a break from the online world. I don't really know how long it will be for - the plan is from June until the end of 2023, but I'll see what happens. I'll be back at some point in the future, but until then, I hope everyone's training goes well, and that you all stay happy and healthy!

Admire your decision and it prompts me to do some self reflection.

Just wanted to say thanks; you have been a huge direct inspiration for a long time with your stoic consistency with running and IRONBORN. I used to see your log and think maybe I'll reach something resembling your routine eventually and as I type this I've completely lost count on how many times I've done IRONBORN and I just ran my first marathon distance ever.

Hope you are able to find new and deeper meaning in life by casting off the less intentional activities that social media and internet insidiously insert into our routines.
