“Where your attention goes, your time goes”
― Idowu Koyenikan, Wealth for All: Living a Life of Success at the Edge of Your Ability

David Graeber
“Yet for some reason, we as a society have
collectively decided it’s better to have millions of human beings spending years of
their lives pretending to type into spreadsheets or preparing mind maps for PR meetings than freeing them to knit sweaters, play with their dogs, start a garage band, experiment with new recipes, or sit in cafés arguing about politics, and gossiping about their friends’ complex polyamorous love affairs.”
― David Graeber, Bullshit Jobs: A Theory
