“I want to start a business”
“I want to write a book”
“I want to do more.”
“Why don’t I have the time to do xyz?”
It is truly amazing how easily we get distracted. Can anyone say “SQUIRREL”!?!?
Gallons of ink have been spilled (And pixels filled) on books about the reasons behind our getting sucked into screens. We all probably know some of the science behind the “screen-ddiction”. Bottom line we need self control. Hard to do No duh.
Hard to do is an understatement.
Facepalm Moment: how many hours have we spent staring at a screen….. Wait, do we really want to know? Ugh, probably thousands of hours wasted. The funny thing is that we get distracted from what I am going to call “intentional chill time”. I have caught myself with a desire to go play a video game and then get sucked into my phone for 2 hours. That intentional relaxation time would have been so much better than that 2 hours of distraction. Why do I do that? Phones have a way of pulling us in…… I am having a hard time articulating what I am thinking. Intentionally going to watch a movie or play a game is far more productive than the 2 hours of doom scrolling. I don’t know why, but it is more productive. I think it has something to to with the intention to relax. Whereas being on the phone makes us think we didn’t get the chill time we really wanted.
Do you agree?
Point is, put the phone away. Go start what you have always wanted to do. And also don’t get distracted from relaxation time.
Thanks for reading. Have a great day, and stay productive.
