I normally am not too annoyed by it, but I'm happy to know where the browswer tab is to add a quick

margin: 100px;

font-size: 20px;

That was a bit too small and wide to read otherwise.

Anyways, some comments on the content:

Meditation helps to reclaim the attention. I currently meditate 1 hour per day on average and am definitely noticing my mind jumping anywhere and everywhere. I'm beginning to see patterns. One of the biggest patterns is that whatever I consumed for the last 2 or 3 days pops up in my mind as a thought much more often than I'd want. So whatever my inputs are, it's important. In that sense, I might want to consider doing an "input reset", i.e. just a week of mostly stillness before I continue my life.
