Tiny automations, big impact. I made an iPhone shortcut that reminds me to visit the beach when the skies are clear and I have free time. Using tech to design life, not scroll. 🌅

The red dot isn’t harmless.
It’s a demand for your attention — on the app’s terms, not yours.

Here’s how to take it back:

Instagram’s new “friends are watching” feature feels less like connection and more like parallel scrolling.
Watching together. Alone.

I think the hardest part of breaking scroll cycles is how lonely it feels—not because doomscrolling gives us meaningful connection, but because it numbs our minds to the point of not caring.

This Substack is for those of us are over it.

I am in the process of designing a more mindful life for myself, so this reflection was overdue.

Do you feel at peace?

I made this space for those of us overwhelmed by endless scrolling and noise. A calm island in the storm.

We don’t need to reject tech completely — but we do need to reshape it so it serves us, not the other way around.

🌱Hello Bluesky, I’m Laura!

I’m here to explore what it means to build mindful systems for a noisy world.

If you’re seeking a softer, more intentional relationship with technology (and yourself), you’re in good company.

🌿 Grow slowly, live deeply
