In this episode we talk about … going offline. Two weeks ago I was at a conference [ Her Empire Builder // Tina Tower ] and Tina (who I am a HUGE fan of) kicked off conference asking us, to be present, and I needed to hear that because I was going to squeeze every break to "work" so I unplugged, immersed myself and had the best time, till I came back online and saw the ugliness of the world :( So I took an extra break off socials and with school holidays just gave up and now I am back into it.

Chat GPT saysGoing offline for business and personal reasons can have several benefits:

  1. Improved Focus: Being offline removes distractions, allowing you to concentrate better on tasks at hand, whether it's work-related or personal projects.

  2. Enhanced Productivity: Without the constant influx of notifications and emails, you can work more efficiently and get more done in less time.

  3. Mental Well-being: Disconnecting from digital devices can reduce stress and anxiety levels, promoting better mental health and overall well-being.

  4. Quality Time: Going offline gives you the opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends, fostering stronger relationships and deeper connections.

  5. Creativity Boost: Disconnecting from the online world can stimulate creativity and encourage new ideas to flourish without the influence of external stimuli.

  6. Improved Sleep: Reduced screen time before bed can lead to better sleep quality, allowing you to wake up feeling more refreshed and energized.

  7. Increased Awareness: Being offline allows you to be more present in the moment, enabling you to fully engage with your surroundings and appreciate the little things in life.

Same as Ever: Everyone wants to see the future. Few are good at it. From business to economics, politics to social trends, we're just not very good at predicting what happens next.

According to Morgan Housel, this is because we focus too much on what we think will change and not enough on what we know will stay the same. If you traveled in time to 500 years ago or 500 years from now, you would be astounded at how much technology and medicine has changed. The geopolitical order would make no sense to you. The language and dialect may be completely foreign. But you'd notice people falling for greed and fear just like they do in our current world. https://www.booktopia.com.au/same-as-ever-morgan-housel/book/9781804090633.html
