After giving up browsing the internet during lectures and meetings:
Lectures and meetings really are boring sometimes, and it makes sense to not pay attention during bits of them.
I am not missing out on juicy content by spending a few hours off the internet.
I suspect that it’s easier to pay attention again after drawing little doodles than after reading things.
I didn’t notice any increase in the ability to focus for long periods of time.
I look forward to doing similar things for one-month periods in the future (in particular, doing some combination of fasting, journalling, and maybe no anime for April).
