Doing one thing at a time →
I have to learn how to do fewer things at the same time. If I’m eating an apple, I want to eat an apple. Now I feel I should be making a stop-motion film of eating an apple, or writing a blog post (like this one) about eating an apple. Who cares about me eating an apple? Or shaving? Or riding my bike?
