#life spend a long weekend without looking at any business related data

I've been active on X for the past couple of weeks. I've never thought of growing my audience there and only used it for distraction and doom-scrolling. So, as a result, I had a lot of junk that I followed. Today I realized that I'm getting pissed by all these distracting posts talking about this or that, having pointless threads about controversial topics just to gain following and engagement farming. I don't want to waste my time cleaning the list of accounts I follow. So I just muted by keywords. In the end, this is my time, my attention, and my life. And it is not for sale for a dose of dopamine.

four more modules of Kourosh Dini's great course "Being Productive - Simple Steps to Calm Focus": Learnt about habit-building through having low barriers; setting a reminder when to finish a work a session and having a buffer set before your start the work session; using an "Inbox" where you store distractions / thoughts that come to mind during a work session and to clean your Inbox after each session's end (so the Inbox doesn't become a todo list - which would kill it's purpose of being a temporary thought holder); when cleaning the Inbox deciding which items can be done in up to 2 minutes and which items will likely require more than 2 minutes - those < 2 minutes do immediately, those > 2 minutes put them in your todo list for today, another day or an action/project list — the important thing is to have the items organized at some place that fits best for you so that the Inbox becomes clean again. #health
