Dallin<p>Hello, friends. I've been known as "Newfangled" on Twitch and just did a re-brand of my channel. It's now called "Positive Notes" which is the name of both the channel and the show.</p><p>I'm no longer calling myself "Newfangled", but using my first given name (Dallin) as the host of my new show. So I figured I'd stop using my Newfangled account over on Universeodon and start using this account that I've had for a while but never used much.</p><p>I have been using Mastodon for years across various servers and accounts and really enjoy it.

Newfangled<p>I just finished reading Cal Newport's book "Digital Minimalism" and I very much enjoyed it. Highly recommended.</p><p>I've already been doing a lot of the suggested practices, but now I want to read the book again, really let the philosophy sink in, and make more changes. I think his approach makes sense and helps to ensure the digital technology in your life isn't using you, but that you are using it with intention to help enrich your life and help you focus on what is most important.</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/digitalMinimalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>digitalMinimalism</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/socialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>socialMedia</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/smartphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smartphone</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a></p>

wyvernsrose<p>If your New Year's resolution is to spend less time online, 'digital minimalism' may be for you: You've had a break from social media over the holidays, but what about a more permanent reset of your relationship with your devices?
