@thor Yeah, same here. We're about the same age and I've had a computer since I went to school. I know what you're talking about, it just doesn't feel right without it.
The experience I've described above helped me reassess some things a lot. Now waking the computer from sleep is not the first thing I do in the morning, I follow the proper routine. After all, I can get away not using it at all: I have a CD player, I read paper books and I have my phone if someone wants to contact me…
@thor But living in the city and doing your job sometimes requires you using a computer and if you are in front of the screen, possess certain traits and habits, it's hard not to fall into that rabbit hole 😔
Maybe you need some similar experience to take a look at your life from a different perspective. I know it's hard when you need to make a living and have someone to take care of (even a cat), but think about it.
