An intentional life
By constraining your time, a full-time job limits the nature of experiences you can have. It imposes a schedule that your entire life has to fit around. Every decision involving time has to pass the “let me check with work” test. That means your time is not yours - you borrow it from your employer. - Work Didn’t Work
# Attention span
- intention vs decision
- intention - what you planned to do
- decision - realising your intention
- attention span is in general of 5h (for adolescent)
- multitasking consume more or less ressource - depending on the task
- focusing help on complex task
- attention need rest - doing nothing (idleness) is an impotant activity (not the same as resting)
- is medium dependant
- is a faculty like memory (even if it can be developed in certain context)
- phone presence is disrupting concentration (rather than usage)
