Hundreds or thousands of read and unread messages are ignored in WeChat. Piles of photos are accumulated in my phones.
I don’t think I might need them someday, because useful messages have already been done with and valuable photos which are visible to few have already posted and store up on WeChat moment. I just don’t want to deal. The only trouble it brings is that the mess takes up too much space but I can throw the clutter away by buying a new mobile phone.
But, for a digital hoarder, what makes me anxious most is to stock up dazzling lessons and materials.
I hold on to online lessons and digital materials just like a malnourished patient hang on to numerous nutritional supplement. I don’t examine myself and wonder what do I lack and need, nor do I think about potential indigestion. I just want to occupy them as if they were reserved in my mind the minute I buy them.
But thanks to the fact that learning is a terrible struggle not just like taking medicine- takes a minute to make it, I don’t suffer too much infliction of body by studying night after night. My pain simply comes from a sense of disappointment and guilty.
In a word, poor purse , heavy heart.
Worse still, the pain amasses as time flies. I won’t even bother thinking about it let alone pick them up.
This year I make up my mind to go after minimalism, especially on study.
Here is what to do next.
Think twice before leap. Fully understand the courses and do payment according my needs.
Make a clear plan of study. To guarantee the completion of learning task, I will make a plan ahead of time and share my learning on social media(Litter Red Book).
Learn while doing and thinking. Practice what I have learnt in my class and write down my reflection in time.
