This morning over coffee, I did what I normally do. I scanned the RSS feeds, checked email, browsed the social media platforms I'm on... and absolutely nothing interested me. It felt like a complete waste of time. Maybe this is the "winter blahs" or my typical melancholy November mood -- or maybe it's something deeper this time.

Maybe I'm just tired of the internet.

Anyone else feeling this more and more as the years wear on?

@killyourfm I wrote something relatively recently about how, when blogging tired me, I would emphasize design work more. I think the challenge with social media is that it doesn’t make it easy to switch tracks.

@ernie Finding balance has never been my strength :D
I think all this backpacking, hiking, and camping has fundamentally changed how I'm feeling about most interactions and content online...

Speaking of social media, this would be the ONLY place I truly missed if I just pulled the plug on the internet for a while.
