One of my favorite writers, Rob Walker, has a brilliant book on my shelves (thanks, Mom) titled “The Art Of Noticing: 131 ways to spark creativity, find inspiration and discover joy in the everyday.” He also has an excellent weekly newsletter I subscribe to in my RSS feeds.
Anyway, I’ve been doing some initial thinking of ways we can practice ignoring or not giving notice to those that would take away our time and attention in unhealthy ways. The first few culprits are adverts everywhere, social media and television.
What are some other distractions we can hide our eyes and ears from to regain that creativity, inspiration and joy?
I’ll be back with more on this after some proper thought.
