Personal Development For Distracted People

  Ten minutes is longer than you think, but all the non-writing bits of composing a blog post take longer than you think to.

Our age of designed distraction represents exactly the kind of challenge they prepared for: external forces beyond our control attempting to undermine our peace and effectiveness.
