Well put.

Leo Babauta, creator of Zen Habits, urges his readers to find simplicity in this age of distraction. I couldn’t agree more.

I’m busy but also always seem to have time to goof off online. So how do I free myself from distraction?

Create space in your life. Cancel a few commitments, add space into your schedule, get rid of some to-do items and focus on fewer projects. Make space to breathe, to find solitude, to create. It’s one of the most important things you can do.

What can the world at large do, collectively, to free itself?

Promote minimalism. It’s not a life where you live with as little as possible. It’s a life where the focus isn’t on consuming and spending, but on connecting with others – creating, enriching your life and the lives of others. It’s also a life where we consume less and have less of an impact on the Earth.
