"This is a reminder not to let a digital world full of others’ moments deceive you into devaluing your own. Their moments are infinite – yours are finite and precious."
For some time now, I've been spending the majority of my day jumping between Reddit, HN, and YouTube. Any time that I'm not on the computer, from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed (with a few exceptions), I'm listening to podcasts. Basically never idle, and rarely truly living my life - just endlessly consuming information in an attempt to fill the void.
I used to be a builder, living the high described in the post almost every day, but I've lost it somewhere along the way.
Something I hope to change. This post was a big kick in the pants for me.
So funny, I just had this revelation. I haven't been producing anything for the last few years. Sure I read & study how to do a lot of varied things (taught by other people - usually on HN) - but personally my output is... underwhelming.
