6yo: it's hard to focus, i always get distracted. all my thoughts are just so interesting!




If you are of an artistic and/or intellectual temperament and do not come from money, some kind of "mindless" work can be really attractive. Serving/bartending if you're more social, retail or night security if you're not and want to podcastmaxx. Obviously your mind isn't totally inactive for these jobs, but they're not "knowledge work." You come in, do stuff, leave, get money. Your deeper mental reserves remain free for other pursuits.


I find it incredibly odd when I try to talk to people in the music industry about music and they are clearly incapable, totally disengaged from the ground floor reality of their day to day work
