How I Learned to Concentrate
notes
how capitalism / corporations view productivity likely costs us more than we understand
it has given us many things but likely sacrificed a lot along the way.
my attempt at daily walks and tree congregations have helped me reconnect with bring more productive in how i think and plan, perhaps at the cost of just cranking out endless actions (many of which need to be undone or redone or forgotten entirely)
i wish we could all move at this different but still productive pace. humans are social though and it will take a lot of unwinding (or moving to another city) to get it done.
