I really need to go somewhere. A very specific place - probably the only one where I can truly relax (even though it tires me out) and disconnect from everything. It's not far, but right now, unfortunately, the conditions just aren't right to go.
And yet, precisely because of that, I'm sure I'll go soon. Because I need it.

You’re not imagining it—life is more overwhelming than it used to be.

Thirty years ago, we weren’t expected to be on 24/7.
Now, everything—news, work, education, friendship—flows through endless digital networks.

We scroll, refresh, reply, react.
There’s no pause. No buffer. No off-switch.

This is the Network Society.
Power no longer moves top-down—it moves through likes, clicks, and notifications.
Your attention is the commodity. Your nervous system is the casualty.

We weren’t built for this.
We evolved for rhythm, rest, and relationship—not for a life spent staring into the infinite scroll.

If you’re feeling scattered, anxious, or emotionally fried—you’re not broken.
You’re living in a system that rewards saturation over sanity.

Maybe the first step is naming it.
This isn’t just burnout. It’s digital trauma.

"Das Schlimmste an der Arbeit ist, dass sie so sehr vom Vergnügen ablenkt."

"Ich bin nicht faul. Ich bin im Energiesparmodus."
– Sprichwort

We’re constantly told to chase ‘optimal’ lifestyles – minimalism, hustle culture, FIRE, etc. But what does science actually say about which lifestyle delivers the most health and happiness?
Spoiler: The answer is more nuanced than influencers suggest.

I analyzed 20+ studies on longevity, mental health, and life satisfaction.
The most surprising findings:

Prøver meg på en liten #introduksjon

Jeg er da Nadja, 32 år, gift, to barn og bor i ei lita bygd på innlandet.

Studerer landbruk, drømmer om småbruk. Jeg er en kreativ sjel som brer meg ut innenfor det visuelle, tekstiler og sang. Har også et langdratt bokprosjekt på gang.

Jeg ønsker å leve et liv med fokus på refleksjon, tilstedeværelse, godhet, rettferdighet og kjærlighet. Både som et individ men også for samfunnet.

#ViewFromTheGate soft rain and a cold bite to the wind. Today is the day, after two weeks of a nasty head cold virus, I think I can manage *all* the chores . I am back inside an hour and a half later feeling wrung out. Going to have an easier afternoon. #SlowLiving #gardening
