It has been so long since I read anything on raptitude.com! What a fun surprise to click on Depth Year to land there. I imagine if I committed, I would be forced to re-discover all the thing I previously started but stopped.
I have a soft spot for Raptitude! It was the one of the first blogs that I read that had a super unique blend of introspectiveness, storytelling, personal growth and cool references. Still enjoy it to this day.
I think I would be quite similar - reading all the unread books or doubling down on stuff that I forgot about. Curious, what will be something you’ll be rediscovering if you hypothetically did one? 😂
Interesting post! I really like the phrase "Infinite Browsing Mode" that Davis uses. But for me, part of the problem is the situation, not the activity. Just why would he be browsing for Netflix options late at night?
You mention lizard brains. That notion, as I understand it, stems from the "triune brain" concept, which is described as "one of the most successful and widespread errors in all of science" by neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett in 'Seven And A Half Lessons About The Brain' (p. 15). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48930266-seven-and-a-half-lessons-about-the-brain
That’s an interesting perspective! I think it’s that weird in between where we want to spend time in leisure but don’t want to sleep yet. So we half ass both and wonder why it’s ineffective 😅

Wasn’t aware of the book, thanks for that!
