Today, I reflected on the tension I always feel when something is pending. The unease is just never resolved until I address it.
Sometimes, the thing that is pending is not important, yet it plays on my mind until it is addressed.
Knowing this, I decided a while ago to mute all notifications on my phone. Most unease come as prompts on my phone. This helped me gain control over when I get into the zone of unease, and when I decide to tune it out.
Since I muted all notifications, I have had a less alarming reality.
I am thankful for the hacks that help with peace of mind.

One at a time
That is how you build momentum and get into a state of flow.
Cue 114 – See the dark world
“See the dark world. See everything intolerable. Let the urge to tolerify it build, but don’t relent. Just live there in the intolerable world, refusing to tolerate it. See whether you feel that growing, burning desire to make the world be different. Let parts of yourself harden. Let your resolve grow. It is here, in the face of the intolerable, that you will be able to tap into intrinsic motivation.” – Nate Soares
Inconceivable
The leading cause of death in humankind is conception.
Immediately conception occurs, death is inevitable.
The things that cannot be conceived cannot die.
Which is why many religions have inconceivable gods.
To live forever you have to either be or do the inconceivable.
Mystery persists through history into the future.
