Distraction is never good, but diversions can be #shorts

I think it's because life is so short that we have to be very careful about how we spend it. And so is there an upside to distraction? No. Distraction is something that takes you away from what you wanted to do with your time and attention. Be intentional about it so that you minimize regret so you don't look back later and say, oh, I should have done something else. While distraction is always bad, diversion can be a very good thing. So there's nothing wrong with watching a movie or reading a book or diverting your attention any number of ways. That's a beautiful thing. It's part of what makes life worth living. But distraction is a different story. Action is when I said I was going to do those things, and now I'm doing something else. And that's a formula. That's a recipe for looking back with regret.
