I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve become a bit of a hermit recently \u00e2\u20ac\u201d spending less time on social media, the internet, and socializing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But I feel that this has a greater purpose. The less distracted I am, the more productive I am. And the more productive I am, the more people I can help.<\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve found personally, the more I withdraw, the more I am able to advance. The more I withdraw from superfluous activities, the more I can do productive, creative, and personally-meaningful work.<\/p>\n
