The internet serves as a medium for both work and personal interests, creating a blurred line between the two. This can lead to pros, such as being able to easily switch between tasks, but also downsides, like wasting time. Taking a day off from using the internet can help reset the brain and question the purpose of online activities. It's important to differentiate between exploration and exploitation, and to be mindful of how much time is spent consuming information versus creating valuable content. Being selective and focused in one's information diet is crucial for maximizing creativity and productivity. Convincing oneself that reading and browsing is part of work can be tempting, but it's important to set boundaries and prioritize activities that directly contribute to one's deliverables. Hone in on specific interests and avoid getting distracted by the unlimited nuggets of information available online.
