ostros··on Attention is all you have
> Presence and intention are skills–they can be trained

Please tell me how. I need to really really improve myself here. I used to be very good at being disciplined and focused, but being a parent and manager made me an ad-hoc reactive monkey that is always lagging behind with everything and not delivering on type, which I always did some time ago.

I like to to think while talking. Nowadays I don’t have always somebody to talk to so I talk to myself and record on the phone; then voice to text to obsidian.

I have a lot of interesting notes and I can also plug them to AI to get some reminders, insights etc.

But I agree with your general message - thinking is still superior

Would you mind sharing few words about the village you mentioned? I am from Poland and am really curious what that village was :)
