I'm the kind of person who downloads 10 English learning apps and doesn't use a single one. Same goes for reading apps, food diaries, etc. And it was kinda pathetic to delete them..... 😅🤦.

But in the marathon it was presented like a game format, the information is presented in increments, it was interesting to go through each day.

Previously tried uncluttering, but tried to do it in one day and ended up getting bogged down.

It's become more enjoyable to go on social media and I've noticed that I've started spending less time on the internet.

Thank you 😌

I used to have a lot of open tabs hanging on my phone and computer that I don't read but am afraid to close. I did a digital cleanup once every six months, but the tabs would reappear.

After the marathon, I spent less time on my phone, made empty desktops, deleted apps, learned how to properly work with tabs.

Spending excessive time on social media was making me depressed, it was my problem.

Thanks to my participation in the marathon, I started to enjoy using social networks more and spend less time there, my sessions became more systematic. It is now obvious that social networks can be turned into a source of positive emotions.

My phone is cleaner. But I didn't sit on it any less. Rather, I have become more conscious of the information I consume.

Brought out a useful paradise/hell technology for me.

The goal of passing the marathon was to unclutter the digital space.

I deleted unused apps and organized them into folders. I also got one home screen. And cleaned out my instagram feed. The marathon, in my opinion, is aimed at digital detox and awareness in the digital space.

Loved the hell-raiser exercise. Realizing that if you feel annoyed by something, don't put up with it, but work on improvements. I.e. more often than not we are annoyed by something and we adjust to it, but still continue to be annoyed instead of making changes. I now make changes immediately if I am annoyed by something more than once.

I wanted to finally get out of the state of puzzling over this issue and onto the path of creating digital minimalism in a way that suits me. To review what I have now, do a revision, remove what I can easily do, implement a few recommendations. The marathon was the impetus to start moving in that direction.

What I've changed:

- I look at my smartphone much less often.
- I often mute calls and put my smartphone on a shelf when I'm at home or in the countryside "getting involved in real life", with complete peace of mind - I'll call you back later.
- I changed my Instagram feed dramatically - now it's about joy and inspiration, wooden houses, flowers, photos of Russia's beauty, etc. And I read the profiles of those I'm subscribed to in my specialization and make notes, taking time out of my weekly schedule.
- !!! I go to bed without my smartphone (it's on a shelf), and when I get up, I do my morning practices first and after about an hour I'll take a quick look at it.

I would like to thank Maxim and Anastasia for their lively and structured presentation of the material - it was interesting to listen to them and I immediately wanted to act.
