This article feels all over the place. It starts with the premise of teaching you how to be productive, then says that you are what you do, then goes to talk about how and why to be nice, then several ending notes describing mindfulness. It also says doing a something without being mindful is the same as doing nothing. The conclusion is: > What you pay attention to is going to be your life. It's so basic that it hits me. But at the same time, there are tons of book that promote automation, see Atomic Habits, which makes it clear that good (automated) habits make your life easier and more productive. So if you spend 50% of your day, doing automated tasks (going to the gym, learning to play the piano, showering, watering the plants, cleaning up your room, etc.) does this mean that you did nothing the entire time? Also, you can both do an automate task and pay attention to it (be mindful) or think of something else (plan things, dream about stuff, get new ideas, etc.).
