I wonder if noticing time going by so quickly is an indicator to start doing less. I think boredom could help with self-reflection about how you're living life, and really notice what makes you happy/unhappy. Doing smaller lifestyle correcting could be better than holding it all and having a mid/quarter/yearly-life crisis.

Neat. This layered approach reminds me of the Youtube series where they explain concepts such as Quantum Physics at 5 different levels of difficulty (children, highschool/uni students, phds, field experts).

I didn't know that exists — will look it up. Yep, similar concept... I believe we always learn on layers (when we actually learn).

With Japan, they've got a bunch of older folks that aren't computer literate. The anecdotes I hear about non-tech Japanese companies trying to use email is pretty disheartening. Japan also has a thriving tech industry, with particularly robotics shining. This study is still a bit surprising, but also believable.
