In much the same way that _you are what you do repeatedly_, **the world is what you pay attention to repeatedly**. Some scientist once estimated that we each receive something like 11 _million_ bits of information per second about our world and bodies, but that we are only able to attend to about 40 bits of the 11 million. Even if those numbers suck and are way off, the point is that your [[Attentional Filter]] **is** incredibly limited, and your world (and thus your life) is made up of what you're consciously aware of. **** # More ## Source - [[Hyperfocus]] - Myself ## Related - [[Habit↔Identity Feedback Loop]] - [[Attentional Filter]]
