Stop using any sites that require ID.

Ditto. Also:

Try to use Memoji to make fake ID
Go to the mall =O
Go to the library
Go to the brick and mortar places I used to visit before getting everything online (eg. bank, fam owned businesses)
Talk to people instead of AI (going to practice that this weekend)
Go for a walk outside instead of updating the firmware on treadmill
Buy stamps! (and stationery, no more ecards or evites)
Learn to plant food in addition to flowers
Use iPhone to make phone calls
Maybe buy a newspaper… maybe
Use my cookbooks more (after I dust them off)
Think of a new name/alias(es) for myself and start acting the part

…just to name a few.

In case somebody’s curious, here’s a link to the Postcrossing website.
