#Things to consider

  • Spend time in the analog world. You will become calmer.
  • How do you determine whether a day of your life went well?
  • Calmness makes us resilient against future anxiety.
  • Take time to recharge, slow down, and appreciate what you have accomplished.
  • A short burst of fifteen minutes of chores around the house can accomplish as much as thirty to forty-five minutes of fragmented activity.
  • Remember: people are the reason for productivity.
  • Make a list of everything you savor.
  • You have more time than you think. Distraction time is sprinkled throughout the day, and all that time really does add up.
  • Our digital world broadens our surface area of concern—the scope of events we pay attention to regularly. Now we know about everything that happens around the world—our grandparents did not.
  • Most of our stress is mental.
  • We used to walk an average of 13 kilometers per day.
  • Knitting is easily one of the most underrated productivity habits.
  • Intention is when you decide what to do ahead of doing it.

#Reading log

2024-05-02: I like Chris Bailey. He has a down to earth approach. It was a few years ago when I went through his 📚 How to Train Your Mind which was more of a pure introduction to meditation, the benefits it brings. This book takes a wider approach to how you think about the balance of your analog and digital life. In a way it was similar to 📚 Digital Minimalism. I didn’t love the book, but it was also not a bad read in any way.
