In 2015, Derek Sivers created a /now page on his website and the idea quickly turned into a movement. Main purpose of the page is:
- To let people know "what you're up to these days."
- To remind yourself what your priorities.
If you're curious about what others are currently up to you can head over to https://nownownow.com.
This is my "now" page and I plan to update it every now and then.

I’m struggling to reduce my screen time on any type of platform: movie sites, YouTube, Instagram, Netflix, etc. I have ended my Wi-Fi subscription and I am using cell data, so it limits me to using a lot less internet.
Rather than being active on social media, I’m trying to entertain myself by memorizing, reading and learning.
As there are so many materials to get hook on on internet, I tend to stay in, sit and loose track of time.
My work already demands me to be online and in front of a screen and when my hobbies revolve around a screen as well, I tend to gain weight, loose physical strength, feel less energetic and feel bad about myself.
So, besides my work, I try to prioritize moving by doing yoga, walking, or even doing the daily chores.
I always look for new ways to organize my physical and digital surroundings.
So far what worked best was to get rid of most of them 🙂
The most challenging part was deciding to stop working on my “side projects” until I put my priorities right.
