How social media affects our focus and how to fix it
In 2023, my focus on productivity was very poor. I would work on something for just 5-10 minutes and then get distracted by social media. At best, I think I was productive for only 2-4 hours a day. Constantly switching tabs in the browser and using social media was like a drug I knew was bad for me, but I couldn't stop. However, in the last 6-12 months, my productivity has probably been one of the highest in my life. I unlocked productivity levels that surprised even me.

He paid £1,300 for his new companion a few months ago.
"I think at the moment it's for people like me, or tech geeks and programmers," Mr Yuan said.
"But I think in the future, it will be quite common and humanoid robots will definitely enter people's homes when they are more affordable."
There are dozens of robot companies in China. A few of them, like the Hangzhou company Unitree, are focused on robotic dogs.
The Unitree team showed off their two latest models. One is a small dog, that can be used as a companion or dressed up in a dragon or panda costume for fun.
They also have a larger model, strong enough to lift me on its back.
