Avoiding The Superfluous | Where To Spend Your Valuable Attention!

What happens when you have too much?

In Episode #390 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: how this is different from net negative time sinks, politics/complaining/drugs, personality traits that can lead to time wasting, how to avoid the endless digital scrolling, whether you need to become minimalist, Jordan Peterson time accounting and why it's such an intractable problem.

Lots of tasty Satoshi support from Dave Jones, Bitcoinplusfood, Adam Curry & McIntosh. So, so appreciated!
