It seems that life is lived smoothly, not when you focus on good or bad friction, but when you know where you're going.
Good and bad depends. Heard about frictionmaxxing (hope it's fake). The idea of using a dump phone or not using a coffee pot with a timer. That sort of thing. Add friction into life to feel something. That's weird. Because the second you actually need the convenience of a smartphone the friction becomes bad. It gets in the way of where you're going.
For me the answer (which I hope to internalize), is to always know "what we are doing here?" and stay connected with that. I find the mindless scrolling, the binging and all the unsatisfying behaviors creep in when I drift (or cowar) from answering that question.
