## What Jamie wrote

I love the message in this article and I work to be intentional with my time. However, the planning and time blocking techniques that Babauta describe here don't always work well for me. What I have found more powerful is to identify things that result in my being unintentional with my time. Anything on my phone with an infinite scroll has the potential to pull me in, so I delete them. Social media is a morass for unintentional use of time. Get rid of it. Intentionality is easier if you simply avoid systems that are built for unintentional actions.
