Great article my friend. Your eight suggestions with explanations are very helpful. Looking forward to bridging more of our online content once I get more of my own published live. May your tribe increase.

Tim, this is a great topic and you do such justice to it. This part, so true: "we have access to information, but no means to do much with it." I was in Hobby Lobby and Michael's the other day, unable to find any stores left that supply serious sewing tools except for quilters. And I remarked on how people can't even buy the tools to do things themselves; everything is already half made for consumers who are (supposedly) into DYI.

We often have similar discussions at home concerning the Internet, dependence on cell phones for everything. I find myself having to use these things for no other reason than to know how these things work, but I'm so tired of the information overload. Love your comment about your ISTJ temperament--yes, it sure explains a lot about the default of how our minds work. (I'm INFP, and get what it's like to spend so much time alone and then chatter like crazy when you get out for a while.) So naturally, people who lean a little more introverted and love to delve into things are easily sucked into INFORMATION about all kinds of stuff.

We're fighting, too, to be more intentional, but it's really hard!!!!!!!!!!!!! And even though I've had some success with AI, I don't see it going anywhere good, ultimately. I wonder where all this speeding up is taking us? Supposedly, technology is to help us "get there faster." But where is it that we are "getting"? We certainly don't get the edge on competition, because they are all doing the same thing. Our only reason for hanging on is to keep from getting left in the dust--and nothing else.
