Understanding Friction's Impact

Friction in daily tasks, often deemed as distractions, actually hinders productivity by creating small irritations that elevate stress levels akin to physical pain. Each instance of friction, like being pinched, drains energy and disrupts focus, impeding creative thinking and progress. Over time, accumulated friction leads to exhaustion, slowing down one's journey towards goals by increasing effort and suppressing efficiency.
