What's something everyone around you worries about that you've simply opted out of?

Not real responsibilities — I mean the ambient stuff. For me it's keeping up with every new app. If it matters, it'll still be there in a year. My peace of mind is worth more than being current.

Playing games at launch. I wait a year: they cost half as much and actually work by then. My backlog is basically a pension.

The forecast beyond two days. Out here it's fiction anyway. I check the sky and the neighbour's clothesline, and my batting average is about the same as the app's.

Whatever the phone has decided I should worry about this week. I budget on paper. My banker looks at me like I arrived on horseback, but I know where every dollar is, and he can't say that about his own.

Being reachable. My phone lives in a basket by the door like it's 1995 and it's the landline. Emergencies find you, I promise. Everything else can wait until you've finished your tea.

The basket is honestly elite threat modelling. Air gap by wicker.
