Value and Conservation of Bandwidth

The majority of our bandwidth is given away without realizing its value. Just as ad space costs millions during events like the Super Bowl, our mental bandwidth is equally valuable. Yet, we often give it away to spam callers, friends, colleagues, and our own habitual thinking. Recognizing the worth of our bandwidth, we can begin to protect it. By consciously closing unnecessary tabs or thoughts and questioning how they opened in the first place, we can preserve and utilize our bandwidth effectively. Identifying bandwidth bandits, such as imaginary conversations, and bandwidth boosters, like engaging in a morning coffee ritual, further empowers us in optimizing productivity.
