"Your brain has too many tabs open..close them" - A thread on overthinking
- Your brain has too many tabs open..close them.
- We suffer more often in imagination that in reality.
- Overthinking leads to problems that don't even exist in the first place.
- If you treat every situation as a life and death matter, you’ll die a lot of times.
- If it’s out of your hands, it deserves freedom from your mind also.
- Sometimes you need to hit pause & press next, because not everything you tell yourself is true.
- Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action.
- When you’re thinking and thinking about something then ask yourself: Will this matter in 5 years? Or even in 5 weeks?
- Direct your focus fully outward instead of inward. Two good ways to get outside your own head are: 1. Help someone else out. 2. Exercise.
- Keep your mind off things that don't help you think positively.
- You're loved, someone out there loves you more than you think.
- You ain't bothering anyone at all, they would love to hear more of your thoughts.
- Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.

“Diseconomies of Scale”: High-tech Versus Low-tech Supply of Eggs - "An egg in the supermarket uses 350 times as much energy as a locally produced egg"
Traditional housing for chickens in Zembe, Mozambique. By Ton Rulkens – Traditional housing 2 The industrial path results in a dollar cost at the supermarket check-out that is at least twenty times that of the local path if a labour cost is included, and 100 times if one is not. The multiple for energy costs when the industrial total ends at the factory out-gate is about 166 kJ/4.3 kJ = 39/1. A complete account which added the energy costs of waste disposal and transport from the supermarket to the household, etc. might raise the cost for the industrial path to above 1.5 MJ per egg, i.e., to the region of 350 times the energy cost for the alternative path.
