Recently, I have tried being idle on my commute to work or walks.
Not listening to podcasts or music, and instead just being there: looking at things on my way like other people, stuff you can find on the street.
Our brains hate being bored/idle. It takes some effort to form that habit, too.

An "exciting" new challenge for the new year is transferring data across Google accounts and have a mobile phone switch to the new account.

It's that time of the year when you have a bit of bandwidth to update a gazillion (va. 250) accounts to new email aliases:
- login to website, often 2FA, create alias, set new email address on site, verify, login with new email, 2FA again, next.
Today was a good day, so much that the alias service has rate limited me hahahah.
End goal is a simpler, more granular setup and cheaper than my previous setup. #privacy #identityAttribution
