Hey all, I wrote this article with some practical advice on how to resist the attention economy (think notifications, shorts, ads, etc) by setting up a desktop for mindful engagement.

It also includes a VirtualBox VM with a lightweight sample environment so you can try it out and see what I mean in the article.

Hope this is helpful! :)

I liked the article for writing things down that I had in my mind but could never really put into words. Ever since trying a tiling window manager I've always felt this pull towards this kind of workflow, but couldn't put a finger on it.

Thanks for sharing!
