Between November 2008 and November 2010 I used computers and the Internet for a grand total of 52 hours. 30 mins/week. I literally felt my mind slow down and become less reliant on the dopamine hits. That’s when I started to read and concentrate for the first time ever.

Care to elaborate on how you maintain such an active Twitter presence And retain 10x focus throughout the day? Do you take specific airplane mode hours?

I’m not always concentrating, but there are long stretches where I do

@dbreaker When I really want to focus (or just disconnect & relax), I make myself unreachable... like we used to live

I can teach you how to reach that state on demand. I know a lot of concentration techniques that yogis have been using in caves for thousands of years to drop in any time.

That would be amazing. I'm starting to do work on this a little bit and having a shorter "buffer" zone would be awesome
