Make Sure You Stay Focused With Everything Trying To Distract You

Distraction: When the mind is pulled away from intentional focus

Is it just me, or does it seem like something is always happening?

For someone who doesn’t watch the news, I can’t help but get caught up in the latest “topics that are impacting the world”—and I don’t even watch the news!

Last week, all I encountered online was “Trump and Vance vs Zelensky” or “The Epstein files have been released!”

I know I wrote about strategy of tension and how governments and media create stories to hold the public’s attention but to witness it at full speed is something else.

So, while WWIII is on the brink and AI is about to take over, I have one—well, more like a few—simple questions.

1. What in the world is happening to the price of eggs?

2. Why can’t I buy any chicken wings?

3. Why is my home insurance so high?

Why do we talk about everything else that doesn’t matter yet ignore the day-to-day topics that actually matter?

Again, we go back to the topic of strategic tension here…
