NOTE

Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom

Having too many options and distractions can lead to anxiety, as noted by the quote 'Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom'. To combat this, planning the day using time boxing or implementation intentions can help improve productivity. Constraints are actually beneficial for creativity, as they provide a structure for accomplishment. Prioritizing self-care, relationships, and work in that order ensures a balanced life and prevents neglecting important aspects like personal well-being and close connections. Making time for oneself, scheduling time for loved ones, and prioritizing relationships can combat feelings of loneliness and improve overall satisfaction in life.
