Misplaced priorities

We tend to favour going with momentum instead of deliberately calibrating the direction in which we are moving. A symptom of this is excessively busy behaviour. Because we do not know where we want to go to, we start moving in many directions at once.

It is difficult to pause and reflect to understand which goals are we currently pursuing. It is difficult because we may be on the wrong track altogether, and more often than not, we hate finding out that we are wrong.

The illusion is very powerful and to break it, we need isolated time with no external stimulus, which we rarely get nowadays.
