Ignore for Now

June 28, 2023

The modern age challenges us to ignore for now.

To ignore for now means to preference the present.

This takes energy.

We have to ignore 24/7 news for now.

We have to ignore a stream of texts and emails for now.

We have to ignore incessant notifications for now.

Ignoring there and then for here and now can be exhausting.

If you have Wi-Fi, it takes effort all day, everywhere.

To ignore for now every day is not something we can do alone.

It’s a collective effort.

It begins by shifting our language for action.

We need to hear tasks as asks.

Then, there’s breathing room.

Then, there’s space to ignore for now.

Turn This Minute into a Moment

To ignore for now is a moment-by-moment decision each of us needs to make countless times a day. It can be draining to ignore for now all day long. If you begin to hear tasks as asks, this reduces the drag. It takes a collective effort to reinforce this habit and preference the present.

Bring mindfulness and productivity to your life.
