I really like the blog and videos of Reject Convenience, he actually does something similar with his own life.

I like this. It’s kind of the same vein as “we like being comfortable.” That’s the main issue. Until we aren’t comfortable nothing will change.

Sure, why not?

Fast forward a couple of months:

  • you lost contacts with 95% of your contacts you used to hear through apps. Last time you met a group of friends was when you randomly met them in a restaurant having a dinner together. "We invited you but you didn't reply". The 5% still calling you wants your money.

  • your bank started charging an extra fee because you did not object when they notified a change in the contract via email. You missed a notification from the tax office and now you have to pay a small fine.

  • your car cannot circulate anymore because you live in Europe and cities may ban old polluting engines.

  • you read less because it started to be expensive to buy all those magazines. On the flip side you are more fit because you have to walk 2km to reach a place that sells them.

I drive a pre-online car I can fix with the help of a friend, PC is Linux mint, laptop is Mac but highly restricted. My android device is silent, my iPhone is used for work only. My music is ripped and downloaded.
