3. Not real-life friends, but social network and blogging and forum friends.
Not that these can’t be good relationships, but having too many makes
them meaningless.And each friend will take up a little bit of your attention
—when you read their updates, click on their links, reply to their
messages, look at their photos, and so on. The more you have, the more
attentionthey’llrequire.Limitthemtojusttheessential.Readmore.

5. Limityourcommunicationtime.
Going into your email inbox? Just give yourself 10 minutes to read,
reply, delete, and get out. Going to do Twitter? Give yourself 5
minutes. Seriously, set up a timer. Don’t let these things take up all
yourattention.

6. Giveuponnews.It’s a never-ending cycle.And if you’ve paid attention to the news as
long as I have (I’m a former journalist), you know it’s all the same,
year after year. Unless your job depends on it, the news is usually a
waste of your attention. Let go of the need to stay updated. Even if
yourjobdoesdependonit,keepitlimited.
