Accessibility

one of the major reasons for lack of productivity can be attributed to the accessibility of things/ the moment we are bored, we have at  our disposal infinite methods to get rid of our boredom and escape into/

this has limited our potential to introspect/ we no longer look into our actions and see if we are going in the direction, but instead run away from our problems and into the digital abyss/

this is not because we purposefully want to run into it, but instead, because we are wired to do so/ the moment we are left alone in a room or have to wait in a line, instead of the default look around and see what's happening, we have been wired to take our phones out of our pocket and check what's going on in Instagram or Snapchat/ half the times I've found myself holding my phone in places where I had decided on my own that I will not look into the phone/

one of the solutions I have devised for myself is to get rid of face id on my phone/ this means I have to type in the six-digit numeric password onto the phone/ though this might not seem to be much, it gives me few valuable milliseconds to think on why exactly I opening my phone/ this is enough to decide for myself that I should not be taking and using the phone right now, but instead should be looking at nature or into myself and do some introspection/

at the end of the day, we are limited by what we were/ the other day I was reading about how we humans are supposed to handle an only a limited amount of news, such as what's going on in our household and to our neighbours and in our tribe/ internet has opened up a vast amount of information, which our brains are not wired to handle/ we are fed with information at a rate which our brains find impossible to handle and we feel like we have to respond to every issue, which is leading us to not look at our problems and fix them/

the solution is not to get rid of the internet or the phone, but to think deeply before dipping our feet into the abyss/
