We spend half our lives online nowadays and it’s obviously causing damage to our health. Do you think it would be worth the benefits to stop carrying a smartphone and to disable the WiFi at home?

    That would ve far more complex than you make it sound.

    Once you have the question, you need to…

    …write down the question so you don’t forget.

    …remember to bring the note with you.

    …remember to check the open hours of the library.

    …get to the library.

    …look at the note to remember the topic of the question.

    …ask a librarian about where to find relevant books.

    …read the books, and hopefully find an answer not too out of date.

      Believe it or not, that was how it worked. The advantage of this was that it guaranteed that you only invested time in things you were really passionate about.
