intention> attention
what if the apps you used helped you keep control over your attention and more intentionally use your time. how many times have we opened twitter/instagram/etc with an intention only to forget about it 15mins later, still sucked down the rabbit hole? sublime is an idea baby, but if we succeed, it's because we helped you live more intentionally.
When you're busy enough, "boredom" isn't a thing - it just feels like a break.
It's fantastic and rare.
A chance to think, to put things together in your head, be intentional with moves forward, and actually really wonderful.

“We’re pretty good at allowing our incorrect certainties to slowly fade into the background, without a crisis or reckoning. We gradually move on, now even more certain about the other things we’re certain of.
Resilience can be found by holding onto our certainties just a little less tightly. One way to do that is to remember just how often the old ones fade away.”

another way of saying "set an intention" is
"create an image for what I could be perceiving, notice how that is different from what I am perceiving, and resolve to act/choose to allow action to make that difference tend towards zero"
