#environment

"Environment is the invisible hand that shapes focus."

"The lifestyle defaults of the twenty-first century ignore our evolutionary history and rob us of energy."

"Why hide deficiencies instead of overcoming them, and why seek people who only protect your ego instead of those who challenge you to grow?"

"Environment is the invisible hand that shapes our behavior. If your phone is always within reach, your focus will always be under attack. If your workspace is designed so that deep work is the simplest thing to do, then you no longer need superhuman willpower to concentrate—you just follow the path of least resistance."
