We're more virtually connected than ever before. But we're also more disconnected than any other civilization before us. We've created shallow ways of communication (say, email or instant messages) which generate a false sense of connection. It's harder to connect in deep ways with our closest friends—a brief walk, talking on the phone, or a video conference may suffice. But, surprisingly, we spend a huge amount of time learning about random details from the trendiest influencers that we don't even know from our closest friends and probably should.
Today, I share with you what I've learned and what's changed over the past year, and new habits that seem to be here to stick with me for years to come.
