Independence

</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
With less monetary pressure on me this past year I have been able to really dive deeply into what is important to me.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Independence has come to the forefront.
|
|
To me being independent in something is having the choice in how you approach it.
|
|
It does not need to mean that I do everything myself.
|
|
It means that I can if I need to.
|
|
It gives me control over various aspects of my life that are important to me.
|
|
For other areas less important I can consciously relinquish that control to save time and effort.
|
|

|
|
Society is full of large complex systems that provide what I need to live.
|
|
If any of those systems breaks or even slows down it can negatively affect my life if I don't have any other options.
|
|
For the sake of robustness ideally a system is as small and simple as possible.
|
|
For independence as many of those steps should be in my hands as possible.
|
|
That results in fewer points of failure and the ability for me to shore up more of those failures myself when they happen.
|
|
</p>
|

<p>
|
|
With the rise of smaller, personally available, and more affordable technologies I think that I can have much of the independence that I want without giving up many, or even any, of the conveniences of modern life.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I want to track and publish this journey to try and build more independence into my life.
|
|
Both as a record and maybe it could help others who feel the same way that I do do the same.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Currently I think that it will break into digital, work, and personal independence going forward.
