Ask HN: How can we care more about fewer things?

3•robalni•3h ago
There is a lot of stuff available on the internet. Just look at HN; link after link, every day more links. Other social medias are probably even worse.

I feel like this has a disabling effect. I mean, when there is always more stuff on the internet to find, why should I focus on the things I already have? Things feel less important when there are so many of them. It feels like everyone just keeps looking for more all the time. But do we really need more? I don't think so.

How can we pick some half-bad thing and just stick to it and make it better, as if there were no other things in the world?

Maybe it helps you as well.

Additionally I highly recommend the book "Indistractable" by Nir Eyal. Best book on living a distraction free life.
