#attention

I like doing laundry.

As writing is selection, so is storytelling like curation.

Activities that occupy partial attention – like driving or cooking – make me restless.

The shower is so fertile a place for contemplation and creative thinking for so many of us that we have the name shower thoughts for the novel ideas that we produce while we’re there.

From where I am sitting on my balcony I can see the TV out of the corner of my eye and it’s very difficult to ignore it.

I heartily agree with Crawford’s emphasis on the importance of embodied experiences and his warning that virtual worlds can promote passivity, technology as magic, and false agency.

In his book The End Of Absence, Michael Harris laments the everpresence of digital technology.

When I do work and I get stuck I leave my desk and wander down the hallway.
