What is thinking?
I like to ponder the idea that Thinking means concentrating on one thing long enough to develop an idea about it....so multitasking, in short, is not only not thinking, it impairs your ability to think.
Original thoughts are vital when moving an idea, project or great action forward. To have an original thought...you must learn how to think.
I pride myself on being able to produce an original thought, and I do think that interesting stuff happens when you are aware of your own thoughts...something that is yours...something you own outright...something not borrowed or hijacked.
“I’ve spent my life trying to undo habits—especially habits of thinking. They narrow your interaction with the world. They’re the phrases that come easily to your mind, like: ‘I know what I think,’ or ‘I know what I like,’ or ‘I know what’s going to happen today.’ If you just replace ‘know’ with ‘don’t know,’ then you start to move into the unknown. And that’s where the interesting stuff happens." — Humans of New York
