People mistake intelligence for volition, a machine can be perfectly intelligent while having no desire over anything, therefore making it a perfect slave (high intelligence, and high subservience). Volition and intelligence are orthogonal axes.

I've tried multiple things to regain focus, the only ones that worked:

- blocking social media everyday til 2pm(i like working from 5-1 everyday), i use freedom app for that

- having a "distraction" tablet with 2fa on the social media I use, so I can only use distracting things there and not on my computer and iphone.

- when work requires just thinking, I bring my remarkable tablet to a coffeeshop or coworking and work just off of it.

- for avoiding staying behind on social media trends, etc, i built Analog Reader to read newsletters, best tweets from specific people and articles i save for later. It becomes a printed newspaper I can bring anywhere. I have a hacker news edition that runs everyday that showed this article for today and thats why im here lol.

this is so cool man congrats!

very interesting, mailgrip is pretty damn cool and is def a way i can see myself decluttering my inbox.

My daily sync is very manual at the moment, i use analogreader, generate pdf then drag it to remarkable on the mac app haha.

I can def take a look at Kindle screens and build alternate layouts for it!
