a trigger to inspire motivation
Science fiction author Nick Marone:
“There are some people in this world, myself included, who at times feel the need to leave a gathering or situation in a hurry. Never mind the reasons. Once again, our great language, moulded and twisted from many others, has given us a word for this action: absquatulate.
Meaning: to leave in a hurry, especially without saying goodbye.”

Observe.
an approach to gather data
Be curious about how you leave your various digital spaces throughout the day.
Is there a clear and pronounced goodbye? Or is it closer to slipping quietly out the back?
Reflect.
a prompt to inspire change
If you slip out of a digital space by closing a window (instead of logging out), have you really left?
If you can return there in an instant by simply re-opening a tab, how useful is this boundary to you?
Experiment.
an invitation to disrupt your digital habits
Each time you finish using a service or website, take a moment to log yourself out so that returning there requires a bit more conscious effort.
Try this experiment
Each week we invite you and others from our community to run this experiment together. Learn from and support each other to realise 1% gains in your digital life.
