Focusing on Bigger Tasks
Filed under: Focus needs time, not bells
oday turns out to be another lovely (sunny and warm) day, so plans have changed and we’re going out for the day. This year has been a lot more relaxing than prior ones.
I recently increased my E-mail-checking intervals to 3+ days, seeing that no critical mail is missed if I don’t check my inbox for a few days.
Notifications of any kind appeal to “hunger” and hunger relates to impulse, which comes from human instincts. What’s repulsive about this is that companies latched onto this to case inherent addiction, passing casino ‘science’ onto digital systems.
I need to focus on more labour- and thought-intensive tasks, not limited to filing an appeal and studying the EPO corruption in order to run this long and very important series.
I sometimes wished I had adopted this etiquette much sooner.
