“You’re welcome to spend your day with your face buried in your phone. Just don’t expect to also create interesting and meaningful things with that day. Expecting tech companies to quit distracting you is like expecting a dragon to quit spitting fire. That’s what dragons do. Your job is to figure out how to slay the dragon.
Of course it’s hard to turn off your phone for an hour. It’s also hard to start working out, to learn how to cook your own meals, to go on a first date with someone who nmmmakes your heart flutter. Everything worthwhile is hard, at first.” -Paul Shirley
Two questions to ask yourself before giving your attention (your most precious asset) away for free (e.g. picking up your phone, reading a news article, looking at social media post, etc.):
(1) How will this help me make the change I want to make in the world?
(2) How will this make me feel?
Be intentional with your attention.
(If you don’t know the answer to either or both of the above questions, then perhaps you need to spend quality time figuring those out.)
