It's time to shift your focus
Welcome to WTP, the place where we ask "What's the point?" and other better questions.
No matter how you shake it, I hate wasting my time. I’m hyper-aware that once I spend it, I cannot get it back again.
Our world makes the deliberate decision-making required to live a meaningful life both difficult and essential.
We have more options than ever, and they grow exponentially every day. All you need to do is look at the rapid production of content:
1.7 million books were self-published in the last year
100,000 songs are uploaded to streaming platforms daily
2,500 videos are uploaded to YouTube every minute
The tiny computers we carry in our pockets further inundate us with noise and warp our focus. We’re constantly worried we’re missing out or comparing ourselves to the false standards social media pushes.
And that says nothing about all the things I’m responsible for, all the things I could do, or all the things I want to do.
It’s f*cking overwhelming.
