 Good morning.

I spent most of yesterday working on a new Nostr article that I have in development, among other work.

Obviously, I had to take breaks from time to time to check the breaking news regarding the assassination attempt, since it was being reported on over the course of a few hours and was generational-scale news that can affect many things.

But after each break once I was caught up, I put my head back down and got back to work on the article, including going through Nostr's Github and stuff.

It's easy to get mired in shock news, but after a bit of time to see what happened, any further time spent beyond that is just chasing dopamine and shock value without anything new learned. At that point, it's best to get back to constructive work, or get back to enjoying life with your friends and family.

Don't let the algorithm control you. Become the algorithm.
