I've been trying to get better at prompt engineering, and what I realised is that the best prompts are the ones that get you the results you're looking for. Then I realised— isn't that the same for your day and your life? (The thought isn't fully worked out yet.) But can't you think of yourself as an LLM and ask: What do I want to get out of myself? What are my goals? What actions do I want to take? And another good part of prompting is simplifying — the simplest path to get there is usually the most efficient. Please help me refine the thought.

When’s the last time you gave something, or someone, your full, undivided focus? I came across a study (Sindermann et al., 2020) showing that being highly online is linked to lower emotional intelligence and higher impulsivity. Then the harder it becomes to stay grounded and connect in real life. I’ve noticed this in myself lately, feeling a bit dull and disconnected. Do you ever feel like the internet is quietly dulling your emotions? How do you notice it showing up in your life, and how do you fix it (without fully logging off)?

Feynman believed attention was the root of understanding — Rubin says it’s the root of creation. How often do we truly notice what’s around us anymore?
