What is the main adversary to focus in our lives today?
I think our battle is not with time. No, there are tools to do in five minutes what took our ancestors months. The battle is no longer lack of information. No library on Earth compares to the depth of knowledge in our pockets. We can learn, explore, travel, wander, acquire, build, connect faster than ever, so whatever is the matter, A new adversary. Stillness, calm, quiet, focus is the matter. See, less is still more. But that means we are now tasked with trifling through an endless more in pursuit of a more meaningful less. It's the old idea that when a customer at a drugstore walks up to, I don't know, let's say shampoo on the shelf, and there are so many options that they actually become less likely to pick one because they get decision fatigue.
How does overstimulation affect our decision-making?
We walk away. Data shows that less is more, right? I'd prefer the best 10 books in the world that I reread again and again and again over fragments of millions of books that I never quite put together, that I never really care about or act on. And I think we're at an inflection point right now where it's almost cliche to talk about how overstimulated we are. It's like, okay, we get it. Beeps, rings, notifications, emails, texts, all vying for our attention. It's not ideal. I hear that over and over again and I'm like, you know, I've heard that talk before. Or at least I think to myself as I'm walking a track, listening to a podcast, checking my Apple Watch for text and heart rate, while also looking at the transcript of an Instagram reel someone sent me.
Yeah, I put a lot of thought into it.
What strategies can help us regain focus and clarity?
especially lately, where I'm sort of dancing with overwhelm. And when you're in these spots, you tend to analyze, diagnose things, and in a sense, burn a lot to the ground in order to build it again. These breaking points can be a valuable thing, especially when they prompt action. Anyway, that's sort of the deal right now. It's like DMs, texts everywhere that a lot of people take personally if you compartmentalize this distraction and don't answer. Or going live, which is now the future. Or showing the behind the scenes in my stories on these different platforms. But also mapping out a plan for my companies whose growth is dependent on deep work that I feel like I'm unable to prioritize because all these little things are pseudo-important.
And this is not me complaining, right? I really want to unpack this because there's more here than soon-to-be middle-aged man shakes fist at sky, right? This is me realizing that this influx of excess isn't just about an obstacle on the way to beat the adversary that stands before me. I'm telling you that it has become the adversary before me. And generally, a rule of thumb is, you know, if a thought helps me, someone out there will find value in it, right? Not everyone or even most people, but someone will. And if you consider yourself that someone, hear me out, because this is about finding your levers, finding the things that move the needle, finding the stuff that matters amidst a sea of noise and marrying that to silence, pausing the distraction, stepping away, all of it,
If you're a writer, find solitude in which to write. If you're in the political arena, create space to read and philosophize and understand. If you're fighting for the manager or director position at your company, find out what differentiates you. Marry that to silence so that you can attack it every day. You can always drizzle, and this is important, right?
How can we recognize and address self-doubt?
This is the whole thing. You can always drizzle the texting and emails and DMs and lives and stories and tweets and all that stuff on top. But I can't help but feel the inverse approach is akin to building on sand. There's no foundation. We need more depth personally and in our community, societally. The thing about depth is that it's intentional. Depth and 140 characters, they're antithetical. Depth and the 30 second videos, they don't really coexist. I know this is a bit outside the norm compared to my usual catalog. Who knows, maybe even slightly odd. But I have this strange compulsion to share this.
