YT-Challange - Week 4

So this Week marks of the End of this Challenge, but I will continue on my Journey of Media reduction. While maybe not Posting every week anymore I will continue writing about my Progress and feelings. Similar to Sérgio I also want to write a Blog post on Project I have been doing, or I want to do.

But before I get to Distracted, lets look at this Week! So the week started out decently. I finally got my YubiKey I order like 4 Weeks ago for a Project, and it finally arrived. And I have been Playing around with its features over the entire week. My Favorite thing I was able to do, is that I can now Unlock my Computer, and it's Keyring with the Key, while not giving Up encryption on the Keyring. I will explain more about this in a Future Blog Post on the Subject. I also was busy at work and reworked my SSO solution for the Home lab to include, you guessed it, Passkeys aka my YubiKey.

So I would say I successfully converted my felt Productiveness into actual Productiveness. Even tho I would call it more a Hyperfixation.

Something you might have seen also in last week's statistics is my Inclusion of the News as a Media. As Something many People say, and I can Agree on, is that the News make you Depressed. So I want to see correlation in my feelings compared to the News. While I have not Noticed it myself really yet, yeah they do make me feel down when Sad things happen, but It doesn't last for me. I think one of the Reasons the News don't affect me as much, is that I have very low Passive News Consumption. As I don't use Social Media's. While the Active News Consumption limits itself to an average quarter Hour a day.

So overall this Week has been going quite great.

In conclusion, I can say that this Challenge went really well. While this Challenge happened over a very Stressful bunch of weeks. I can say even with the extra Stress that was going on I was able to be less Stressed overall. But I also noticed some Issues that I want to fix too, I am spending a lot of time on Forums instead of YouTube. I think this is way better than any other Social Media. As these are smaller and more Human. It is still not real Social Contact. The Last Show of ZDF Magazin Royal, a German Late Night Show by the Public Broadcaster ZDF, talked about Loneliness and how Social Media isn't a Replacement for it. And how this is Harming us. It was very Interesting, and I am going to take some of the Advice to heart.
