Summary

New author to the show Anthony Ongaro of Break the Twitch narrates his own article for you, inspired in part by Seth Godin. Episode 752: Refusing a Gift From Your Past Self by Anthony Ongaro - Break the Twitch (Mindfulness & Happiness). After years of impulse spending on Amazon and elsewhere, Anthony Ongaro realized that his one-click purchase habits were more of a physical Twitch than an intentional action. It turned out, this Twitch wasn’t just limited to online spending. It applied to social media, impulsive smartphone usage, and more. Break the Twitch is all about minimizing distractions and doing more of what matters.
