the inattention economy

 I have been noticing something recently and while everything is trying to get our attention, I've noticed, I ignore a lot more. Oh an ad popped up, I jump to another device or task and blank it out. Or I pop an earbud out and look a way a bit *trying* to forget what I heard on the hopes it doesn't earworm itself into my brain.

 

I wonder if all the inattention in other parts of my life are a result of trying to avoid ads so badly.

 

I think I need to move away from anything with ads not sure if I can, but dang I want to badly.

ease of use

 I think I've come to realize that the easier things are to use the more you're likely to use them of this is obvious when it comes to computer interfaces but I've been realizing it more and more when it comes to even things like my house

I have a leaf blower but I almost never use it because it's a pain in the butt to get to. I have a cricut I use it occasionally but not often enough because it's a pain to get to I have to take it off of a shelf I have to move it to a location that has the space and so on. 

 

I'm looking into being more organized this coming year so hopefully I can do that.
