For me, certainly, at times gossip also disguises itself as productivity.

Thanks Isabel for this essay! I liked your point about having borders for your attention. In particular, I'm thinking of how time is also part of that border. You don't want to spend so much time living in the future (or the past) that you cannot be present now. I recently read this point in Oliver Burkeman's new book Meditations for Mortals (Day 7) and it has a nice synergy with your essay.
