Rethinking: The Illusion of Being Needed

Rethinkography: The Danger of Single-Track Thinking
You’ve been told that focus is the holy grail. But what if your version of focus is actually fixation?
Look at the image. A single tensioned cable anchored to a blank wall. It looks orderly. Controlled. Minimal. But it also screams something else: rigidity. No movement. No divergence. No possibility for realignment. This isn’t focus — it’s a trap disguised as discipline.
