Too much divers info overload is a huge challenge and time waster today. Quiet time in the mind from endless distractions such as email and feeds is part of the answer, and time spent on minor things takes away from the major things. Your solution, though not a 100% solution, sounds like it would be an improvement. It certainly is a move toward being more intentional and specific which I see as a positive thing. I've wasted far too much time and energy not paying attention to my attention which can get scattered too easily- but it's of my own doing. Gradually, I'm learning to separate myself from the info overload "noise", and then focus on one thing for awhile. This alone can quite literally double or triple results- and it feels quieter and more focused. Thanks Nicolas
