less sugar, more creation

For a long time, I've been rather unhappy with my consumption of sugar, real and digital version. I've got a sweet tooth, am probably way above the recommended daily intake values for sugar, and that's bad on the long run. I'm also reading too many unnecessary newsletters and mailings, with the typical fear of missing out something. It's a long time I did not read a good book, on the other hand. Both types of "instant gratification" I like a lot, therefore it's not easy to "just consume less".

I already tried various ideas, and here comes another one: as I want to write more as well, I reactivated my glog/phlog script, and therefore whenever I have a craving to eat or read sugar, I will write.

Writing (or coding) is also slightly more creative than consuming...

Obviously, all electronic texts require some sort of computer for reading, and so of course I also can write instead of reading a greasy newsletter. About the sugar, we'll see: most often I'll have a tablet or smartphone with me though, so it should be possible as well.
