What's an "Analog Day"?
Once a week, I have what I call an analog day.
I still work. But I don’t open my laptop at all! Or use a device. No tabs. No notifications. No screens.
Just pen and paper. I’ll sit with my business journal. Write content longhand. Doodle. Daydream.
Idea Map. Sketch offers. Do some stream of consciousness free writing. Massive brain dumps.
Straight mental diarrhea. Rewrite my to-do list in my own handwriting. Whatever.
And something shifts.
The ideas feel sharper. Cleaner. More intuitive. More powerful. More… mine. There’s something about physically writing stuff down, especially in cursive... I feel like it just unlocks a different part of your brain. It slows you down in the best way. It creates space. Things connect.
This post started off as a half-assed rambling idea in my notebook (ideation) Now I'm posting it here to share with you (distribution). I'm going to experiment with taking this whole analog thing to the next level (not sure what that looks like yet, but I'll keep you posted).
Anyway, what do you think about having an analog day?
