I’m not one to be difficult but I’ll fight like hell to protect my mental space.
Some things are worth being difficult over and it’s important to recognize that.
When I’m reading/ writing/ or otherwise doing deep work, for example, my phone is on silent, my internet tabs are closed, and my headphones are playing white noise on full volume.
It’s incredibly difficult to get a hold of me once I’ve entered this space.
Why do I do this?
Because I can’t do deep work with constant interruptions. And if I’m going to maximize my time in a deep work state, then I need to fight the resistance that comes with these efforts to protect that space.
And fight I will.
And when it comes to your mental space—so should you.
