This was a great piece Jose. Ironically, I was going to respond to this some minutes ago, but instead I opted to take a walk. I've started to (attempt) to adjust my routine similar to yours after some observation with myself and its been very helpful. Obviously, the biggest thing I've found is my own battle with the dopamine in my brain and our tendency to do what feels right rather than what is productive and actually right. Balancing and moderation of course. But off that, my time with 19th & 20th century ministers/theologians has aided me in understanding how life was 100-200 years ago and the lack of distractions we have today--along with the shear amount they wrote with the time they had! I think there is something to say about that more fulfilling life, that's in my back-pocket. Nonetheless I found your article very relatable, great stuff. Plan on getting your book (finally!) soon as well.
