Feeling unfocused?
Mental fog that arises when we're overstimulated, undernourished, or emotionally overwhelmed. Our mind is asking for simplicity and space.
The unmet need
Reduction of inputs; single-tasking; time to process without new information constantly arriving.
A question to sit with
What is my mind too full of to think clearly? What can I clear away to create mental space?
What to do right now
Close all browser tabs except one. Turn off all notifications for 30 minutes. Focus on completing just one task without switching. Notice how simplicity affects your clarity.
