The problem of concentration
Any plan for sidestepping distractions calls for strategies on sidestepping distraction.
It is a fantasy to think that we can dodge distraction once and for all. There will always be exciting things to create distraction for the mind.

How to Get Good at Dealing With Massive Change
Dealing with change
And here’s a secret: actually, we’re always in times of change. If you’re waiting for things to settle down, it’s a beau...
How our mind reacts to change
- It complains. It doesn’t like change that it didn’t choose.
- It gets angry at others. It blames and might lash out at them.
- It looks for comfort, for a return to what you’re used to, what you know, what you’ve always gone to for comfort.
- It tries to get control. This can be stressful, trying to control the massively uncontrollable.

How Romanticism Ruined Love
The cultural backdrop
For most of recorded history, people got married for logical pragmatic sorts of reasons.
Since around 1750, we have been living in an era in the history of love that we can call Romanticism w...
The Romantic template
- Romanticism tells us that a long-term marriage can have all the excitement of a love affair.
- Romanticism proposed that true love must mean an end to all loneliness.
- Romanticism believed that choosing a partner should be about letting oneself be guided by feelings, rather than practical considerations.
- Romanticism believes that true love is synonymous with accepting everything about someone.
The Romantic script is delusional
It's normative points include:
- we should meet a person of extraordinary inner and outer beauty and immediately feel a special attraction to them, and they to us
- we should understand one another intuitively
- we don’t need an education in love
- we should have no secrets and spend constant time together
- we should raise a family without any loss of intensity
- our lover must be our soulmate, best friend, co-parent, co-chauffeur, accountant, household manager and spiritual guide

A short history of the office
A slow change from home to office
The office's history shows how our work has changed and how work's physical spaces respond to cultural, technological, and social influences
- During m...
At first, the office was an activity before it was a place
- Before the modern office, monasteries introduced timekeeping to the monk's daily routines.
- Later, the office was understood to be a factory-like environment.
- Work was depicted as a series of tasks that could be rationalised, standardised and calculated into an efficient production machine.
How changes in technology influenced the office
- The telegraph, telephone, and dictating machine changed the concept of work and office design as telecommunications meant office could be separate from factories and warehouses and differentiate between white and blue-collar workers.
- While these technologies made a distributed workforce possible, American offices became more centralised.
- Online connectivity potentially ensures a move away from the office to working from home.
