MINDBEBOP Backstory #001
All my life, I've been a worrier. I worry about things I did in the past, something someone might have said somewhere, or what might happen in the future.
Whenever I sit down to work on something—even something fun—those negative thoughts float in the back of my mind, demanding attention.
No matter what we do in life, we need time to warm up. But for me, I needed at least two to three hours—sometimes four to five—just to get one hour of focus. Even while working, my mind was crowded with all those "unresolved" thoughts. The internet is full of information that only feeds these thoughts if we don't actively manage them.
Back in the day, especially at night, it was relatively easy to "turn off" incoming information. We would turn off the lights, close our eyes, and that was it. There were no notifications, and no urge to check messages or scroll through someone else's timeline.
Today, in the age of cognitive overflow, we need specific digital tools to protect ourselves from these residual thoughts at all times. We need something small and lightweight. Something you can launch without having to sign in or answer twenty questions. Something like TextEdit or Notepad. So, I started typing my feelings down in those apps without trying to organize them.
To be continued.
