Chapter 301

The first thing we need to do is not bite the hook. Refuse to reward anyone or anything that uses pique to get your attention. Turn up the filters and walk away. The important stuff will get through even if we filter out some of the urgent. . .Everyone gets 24 hours of fresh attention, refilled daily. But if we continue to abuse it, we won’t be able to see with fresh eyes and appreciate what’s been there all along. Seth

This happens to me 100’s of times a day as I curate the internet for my clients, and I am looking for particular information or articles. So you start the search, and see the articles, and you think this one may be useful, but you only get 4 lines of information . . . and then you have to CLICK on the article to see the real content. Seth describes it well above. It is also called clickbait in other circles. They just want you to bite the hook, click on their article, it makes money for them and you get . . . nothing most of the time. I have never actually calculated it, but my guess is in the 95% range, that clicking on these articles or even links about Coronavirus cures or whatever, results in nothing helpful or factual. Just speculation most of the time, entertaining writing if you are lucky, but just speculation.

Refuse to reward these people. Refuse to read. Refuse to click. Refuse to watch.Stop abusing your fresh attention each day. Use it to change the world, not spread speculationtheoriesconspiracies/and faceless blathering. Help others to use their fresh attention well, along the way.
