Except for ordering a Pizza and having a Calendar and an appointment list upfront (or daily routine), the cellphone is a big hindrance to creativity.
I wanted to have an year break from productive work and Coronavirus extended it to two years thankfully.
All what I did was using the cellphone to read the emails and looking at whatever the news that the cellphone, rather Google is dishing out and highlighting.
I consider using the PC to read an email as a collosal waste of electricity.
Mind you, I did some work, too.
Organized the rooftop garden and thrown away 70% of the unattractive plants and selected few a beautiful lilies.
Organized my PC, Laptop and all the external hard disks and USB as a preparation for destroying all the unnecessary CDs and DVDs.
Mastered BSD for destroying any trace of Windows Operating System.
All these are my normal routines and natural things but nothing touching the creative side of the brain.
I looked for a suitable writing application for Android and found nothing that is not asking for a subscription or not interfering with my thought processes.
So I am dishing out all the cellphones (in any case I have no data) and going back to the keyboard and start a book on Puppy Linux.
I won't dish out the creative secrets of Puppy Linux but one has to read my book that will be available on digital form soon.
To highlight the thinking behind BSD or TrueOS instead of Puppy philosophy;
There are only a very few things that one needs in a computer or cellphone.
Number one is 1.Connectivity.
Number 2. A Simple Browser.
Number 3. An Email (people rarely use this simple utility except forewarding)
Number 4. Productivity Suite, really means a Word Processor and an Accounting Package.
Number 5 is Firewall for protection against cyber attacks.
Number 6 is dedicated Individual User Space (input out and put devices).
Number 7 is the Ability to modify the above utilities according to one's need in the Free Software tradition and remove Bloat Ware one never uses.
I say Puppy has all that and a few more additional utilities.
It is STUPID to waste a lot of money on proprietary stuff while we are recovering from the effects of the pandemic.
Every penny saved should go to the kitty.
I forgot say, I used the cellphone as a "Play Console".
I think many use it to finger fiddle or "Angili Gahanava Annunge Vadeta".
The cellphones make you to become one finger editors.
Then one becomes a one sided brain individual like a British Conservative.
The creative brain is on the opposite side and one becomes one sided FIXED Brexiter.
No other creative plans enter the mind and like a dog the party followers wag their tails.
Now coming to Puppy Linux, all puppy derivatives should encourage the use of standard keyboard to type using both hands at the same time.
One gradually trains the mind to be creative again without any effort.
The keyboard should be modified to become the brain or the motherboard.
Its sides should be broadened to stretch the top of the table and free movement of both hands.
It's center should hold the console or the graphic monitor to see what is been typed instead of printing a copy for perusal.
Alternatively, the broader tablet or slate should sit on the centre, connected by WiFi, (instead a tiny one finger model of cheap Chinese cellphone).
With this ploy, the creativity improves by leaps and bounds, since the brain is now not dictated by the cellphone.
Additionally Keyboard should have lots of ports of type 3 to 4 to 5 US's connecting various devices with inputs when fatigue or thought blocks intervene.
Already a computer motherboard, designed in the framework of the keyboard is available and more creative designs to this model should be applied by Puppy Linux enthusiasts.
If I was young I would have done all that but that is my creative brain working for others to tap onto.
I am currently using the Laptop with cramped keyboard and track pad I never use.
The track pad should accommodate the graphic area instead and let the mouse do the talking.
The folder or the flap with monitor or graphic area of the Laptop should be scraped (that saves money) and one clean flat keyboard with a wider graphic front in the middle should be created instead.
In other words use the mouse in one's hand instead of one finger mode of cellphone.
If you are angry or bored you can squeeze the mouse to your heart content.
One can only wriggle or point the finger or poke into the nose.
