It takes energy to constantly be opting out...I don't want the QR code menu, the prompt, the 14 layers of login "safety" protocols....but ultimately one by one we have to just clear away the digital clutter and become intentional with our time...it's very hard in a world where everyone expects immediate responses. Even meeting someone for a coffee and turning the phone off or leaving it in the car, tiny steps towards reclaiming our lives. The answer really is to look up, make eye contact, just be human, say no a lot more....
