Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2010/12/your-simulated-reality/ Quotes to ponder: "Do other parts of your life seem to become richer when you cultivate a zen-like space that’s free of clutter and distraction?" "You can’t add anything new until you delete something old." "If something is present in your life, but it’s not adding value, then it’s wasting computing resources."
