>>Does anybody else feel that way? Have you been able to detach yourself from the constant flow of information and focus on your own stuff? Yes, and to detach, I enforce little lifestyle changes. It's a species of declared war. Ideas to fight back: 1. No mobile or laptop, ever. I like big computers and I cannot lie... 2. Indulge when you do, disconnect otherwise. Use a smart phone like a phone; build apps, don't use them. Promise yourself to get out into nature at least once a week for several hours with no screens. While there, empty your mind, walk to walk, sit to sit. Do it every week. 3. Go back to doing things on paper with a pencil. So much to be said for this. I keep a piece of graph paper in my pocket all the time. Each different fold is like a different app. Best smartphone ever. Don't get me started on notebooks. Practice your handwriting. 4. Expand your hobbies and rotate through them when they start to bore you. 5. Fight, fight, fight. 6. Lose yourself in music more. Don't forget, "life without music is a mistake". Get a little boom box and some batteries and go outside to listen to music on that thing. Make information with your brain while you stare at the clouds. Do it every week like some kind of weird ritual.
