Our energy is somehow limited, our focus is limited, but what's limitless is leverage, right?
I mean, it's hard to find one area of our life where I don't use technology.
But I also, there's a quote in Lemon List that says, life is the letter C between B and D, where B is birth and D is death and life C is choice.
These difficult times, they could distract you, which many people are distracted.
These difficult times can diminish you.
People feel like,
more limited sometimes.
Or these difficult times, they could develop us.
We ultimately decide.
I'm trying to make a conscious effort, whether it's AR or any form of technology, to spend less time on screens when I don't have to.
So if there's an analog opportunity, just for my, and again, I'm dating myself and I'm in my 50s,
but I also embrace technology, but I always like reading books, like real paper books, because I don't need an excuse to be on a screen.
But I'm practical when I'm traveling, I can't carry seven books, because I read a book a day and that's not very practical.
So I'll read something on a screen,
I put borders and boundaries though.
I do a digital detox once a week, whether it's like a full Sunday or a certain amount of time.
I definitely have borders and boundaries around the morning use of technology and the evening use of technology because I find I'm extremely sensitive and I don't want to start my day in that distracted kind of mode or the reactive kind of mode.
And I want to make sure I go to sleep and I'm not on my devices, doom scrolling and context switching.
And I don't want to get that parasympathetic rest and digest.
But I like to indulge in things that are more human, intuition that I mentioned, imagination, creativity, something that AI can make like judgment calls.
