Shining New Thing

Notes

When we are easily Distracted by new things, like a new productivity tool, a new gadget or even a new mental model. Often these things are just forms of distraction, or potentially even a Future disillusionment, when we say things like "when I'll have the right tool I'll finally be able to get it done".

It is even self inflicted, when every time we see a new gadget we get FOMO if we won't use it.

Instead, we should remember the advantages of less is more, that by focusing on what we have, rather than what we supposably miss, is better for our productivity and wellbeing.

The perfect tool doesn't exist, so it's more important to stick with what we have and make the most of it, instead of abandoning it too early before we can reap it's benefits.
