I'm glad to hear that this platform has helped you find value in the "present moment." Life has so many distractions these days--so many stimuli coming at you from all different directions--that it's easy to feel the need to always be doing something; our minds are extremely vulnerable to these things, which leads us to follow our thoughts along endless trails.
One way I've personally dealt with this is through meditation. It helps you calm down the "traffic jam" in your brain, keeps you present, and consequently increases focus & concentration...just my two cents :) Keep up the great work!
Those are a great "two cents". I have seen many people benefit from meditation. I think I have some steps to take in-between before I am disciplined enough to do that. But it would be a cool end goal.
