Every time I use an app, part of my brain dies! We'll get to the point where we go to bed and wonder: 'Did I have a thought today?' You'll have to go to your 'Thought' app!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The moment of drifting into thought has been so clipped by modern technology. Our lives are filled with distraction with smartphones and all the rest. People are so locked into not being present.
Thought can be so seductive and hypnotic that it absorbs your attention totally, so you become your thoughts.
I often have trouble falling asleep at night, so when I'm lying in bed I think up stories. That's where I do a lot of my thinking. I also get a lot of ideas while I'm reading - sometimes reading someone else's stories will make me think of one of my own.
Sometimes I wake up and think, 'How did I get here?'
Occasionally, I have to think like myself to remember where I put something.
Usually, I walk around and think about things. When I come across a thought that makes me laugh, I write it down.
One of the things that writing and speech can do is express what we're thinking one thought at a time.
I once tried thinking for an entire day, but I found it less valuable than one moment of study.
I never really have to sit at a desk thinking, 'What should I do now?' It doesn't work like that for me, and it never has. My thinking process is constant.
I do my thinking while I walk. It just loosens up the mind in the way that you don't get when you are sitting at a desk.
