I'm Thorsten Zöller, and this is my website.
It does not shout for attention. Rather, I imagine it like a little book in a gigantic library – it is just standing there, happy to be discovered, but just as content to remain hidden between all the tomes surrounding it.
A little bit of background about me and this site.
The importance of being able to focus and concentrate and to withstand distractions and immediate gratifications can hardly be overstated.
It is one of the most powerful abilities in today's world, and it will be even more so in the future when methods to catch the attention of people will get ever more refined.
While in the past people were able to focus entire days on writing or thinking (provided they could afford it), today someone who is able to concentrate on a single task for an extended period of time has almost become an exception.
We live in an age of distraction and diversion, of minimal attention spans and of scattered, fragmented and erratic minds.
This is no new insight, but worth remembering.
Being able to focus is a true superpower.
