Exactly what I was thinking. It makes me think of the book Four Thousand Weeks, and Chasing Daylight.
The former is about the trap of productivity and thinking you can fit more into your day than you can. Hint: no matter how much you get done in your day, you will want to try to fit in more
And the latter I don’t want to spoil but there was a quote along the lines of “Gene looked at all his colleagues who wanted more and thought, do they know when they will have enough?”, again the idea that we will always want more.
Reading to your child and spending time with them is enough. Forget all the other distractions the world offers you.
I struggled to be a proper mom when my kid was a toddler.
One of the few things I did absolutely right, was read to him every night. It was usually the best part of my day.
“when will they have enough”… “prodictivity” is almost appearing to be the death of human connection these days, and to that, I just say, Komorebi mother fuckers.
