Survival Areas

Mind & Attention

Cognitive offloading is now the default. This hub helps you keep deep work, memory, and judgment intact while using AI intentionally instead of passively.

Defend your focus when every app offers to think for you.

What’s happening

Mind & Attention right now

Constant micro-assists dull recall and decision-making. Teams expect instant answers, and “second brain” tools quietly become the first. Without guardrails, thinking atrophies.

What to do now

Mini checklist

  • Run attention sprints: 60–90 minutes daily with no AI suggestions, then review the quality difference.
  • Keep a manual notebook of decisions and their outcomes to resist outsourcing judgment.
  • Schedule deliberate AI time blocks instead of ambient usage to avoid constant context switching.
  • Pick one domain to stay fully human (writing, math, negotiation) to preserve a sharp edge.
