Ch. 5
Mind wandering or day dreaming is good for you. Letting your mind breathe without podcast or music. No specific focus just drifting from thought to thought.
Deep focus is good and mind wandering is good both are different.

Ch. 4
Literacy and complex thinking is falling. People don’t read enough literary fiction. We understand more, reading on paper than on screen. Other mediums and how u get information also changes the way you perceive that info and the world. Twitter, Facebook, instagram fuels that the world is shallow and simple. Books are complex. Reading Fiction especially helps build empathy. Children need storybooks and movies

Ch. 3
Sleep deprived children= hyperactive.
Sleep drastically affects focus, long term memory. sleep routine very important for children/adults
Shoot for 10pm bedtime for me
brains clean toxins when we are asleep. used to use physical light to tell us when to wake & sleep. Now we have too much artificial.
When light dims we get boost of energy so need to dim early.
No artificial light no screens two hrs before bed

Loving this
We are in the Great Acceleration, have more information than ever and too much to process
Distraction steals our focus, our time and our ability to make memories. P40
Tie yourself to the mast and make the right / hard decision now for your future self
Free undistracted time = creativity
Practice monotasking
Flow state needs single goal, meaningful, edge of ability- they save us. What a waste of life p.61

Starting off great. Right into the action, good dialogue and easy read so far . Giving sorority, good music slasher vibes
