A big word for me as I get my head around 2022 is notice. What am I letting happen to myself? What might I be able to adjust or reject? Noticing seems like the obvious first step in self-management. Today’s conversation with Pamela Paul is about the things we have lost to the Internet and what, if anything, we want to do about it. What ideas, objects, habits and preferences has the Internet washed away? Can we claw some back?
Pamela is the long time editor of the New York Times Book Review but she’s also written more than a handful of books herself. If you love this conversation, I’d suggest you loop back to the self-care conversation I had with Manoush Zomorodi or the conversation about becoming “indistractable” with Nir Eyal.
