I Stayed Offline Every Morning for a Week

Описание: I stayed offline every morning for a week. Here is why doing less changed my focus more than any routine ever did.

///// About this Video /////

In this video, I document a seven-day experiment: staying completely offline for the first two hours of my day.

I tested seven mindful, analog habits — from walking and journaling to reading, tea rituals, and meditation — to see whether removing digital noise in the morning could help me reclaim focus, calm, and creative clarity.

What surprised me most wasn’t what worked, but what didn’t.
By day three, I realized that too many habits were creating the very stress I was trying to escape. The real shift came not from adding more structure — but from choosing less. This video is a quiet reflection on mindful mornings, analog living, and how intentional limitations can lead to deeper focus and better creative work — especially in a world built to distract us.

If you’re interested in analog productivity, calm creative workflows, and designing a more intentional relationship with technology, this video is for you.
