Quite reasonable, actually. I have had a series of health issues. The most serious was a lung transplant, over 6 years ago. By one year 20% of recipients have died. By 5 years the percentage is 50% . So, when your alive you focus on what is really important. Everything else is throw away garbage.
I believe, as you, much too much time wasted on inconsequential activities with no great purpose.
I agree wholeheartedly that we spend way too much time on inconsequential activities, especially our computers and iPhones. How many more pictures do we need to see of dads on their phones while their kids are playing next to them? I know that we are losing the art of personal conversation, reading too much meaningless trivial junk/spam. I recently dropped two of my 3 internet mailboxes and found myself twiddling my thumbs because I wasn't reading junk. So I started reading more. I also stopped reading every post on our UHH website--sorry guys, but much of what's on there these days is meaningless to me. I found that I was wasting an least 1-2 hours each day on the computer, especially Facebook. So I decided to FB only once per month and see what's posted then. I don't need the latest recipe or store opening or ugly updated pictures of couples eating or on vacation or celebrating something. I actually saw the sunrise this morning!!
