Bored and Brilliant

Manoush talks a lot about our use of tech and social media in relation to making space for more boredom/mindwandering/daydreaming, and mindfulness. To increase our mindfulness of how we use our devices she sets out a series of challenges she guided a group through to bolster their confidence that they can change their use of a device if their habits are not impacting their lives positively. I'm not a Twitter fiend but I definitely waste a lot of time on the faceblarg/gram/whatever on a scroll trance.

Manoush's point about not letting every little thing you need to get done overwhelm felt important to start dealing with in my work life. deep breathes and intentionality? I should allow myself the time to really think about what I'm doing (I'm just not a fast thinker, pushed to react immediately usually means a poor outcome, so I need to build in buffers for my brain)
