Go Analog

Ever feel like throwing every one of your screens in the ocean and moving to the countryside where no email or news alert can find you? We get it. Returning to an analog life is more appealing than ever. Even in small doses, a more tactile, intentional way of living can lower your stress and anxiety levels, encourage deeper focus, and make you feel more present. It can also help reset our need for instant gratification—finishing a puzzle or painting takes longer, but the result is especially satisfying. Board games, written to-do lists and thank-you cards, gardening, physical books, vinyl records, film photography. All these things slow down your brain, give your nervous system a break, and in some cases help you reconnect with people in real time.

We've gathered up some items to help you on your analog adventures. Find something you love and then log off.
