I think this thing about fragmentation has always existed, at least for me as a teacher. I work at a staffroom and find that my focus is disrupted whenever colleagues come over to me for a chat or pow wow. I can’t always be so task-oriented because they may have had a bad day and need a listening ear. But ya my work doesn’t get done.

Back to SN, I think a simple guideline to follow is whether I feel empty or satisfied after my time on SN. I have always been a writer. If I am not writing on SN, I would be posting stuff on my blog or social media anyway. The thing to note is to be true to myself n write in order to explore what I’m feeling instead of farming sats. I will probably feel good after typing this comment because it is through the process of writing that my Being bursts through my murky mind and makes itself clear.

I don’t mind a good old doomscrolling every now and then. I’m human after all n sometimes need to decompress. However, I try to bring more of a hunting mentality to my time here. When I am more intentional about what I wanna explore here, I remember the things I pick up better. So yesterday I typed “attention” into the search bar and read some stuff associated with it. That way, I know that I’m expanding my knowledge, albeit slowly.

Lastly, I think some boundaries will help me to get the best out of SN. I intend to zap 5 Stackers 49 sats each every day (until my winnings from Fun Fact Friday are depleted haha). If I don’t get to a Stacker, oh well there’s always later or tomorrow. After all, Stackers are known to gravitate towards low time-preference stuff.

This was a lovely diversion from my morning routine. That said, I did get some reading done. And will probably nap on my work to work haha.
