I’m going to guess because Photoshop has like 10000 more features that 99.9% of people will never use or see. Photopea does what that 99.9% of people need Photoshop to do.

TL;DR Practice mindfulness. That is at the root of all of these suggestions.

Jesus christ that sounds like something out of a movie

It can be really easy to associate the term with all of the "woo woo" pop media bullshit that has surrounded it as of late. I think an objective definition has yet to be established in psychology but to borrow from this meta-analysis:

One of the most commonly cited definitions of mindfulness is the awareness that arises through “paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally”

It's essentially the practice of being in the present moment, by paying close attention to your thoughts nonjudgmentally.

Here is a recent perspective from Cal Newport himself (literally 8 days ago):

the evidence suggests that [mindfulness meditation] is really quite effective, which is why I think the work Sam Harris (and Jon Kabat-Zinn before him) are doing in promoting this practice to a wider audience is vital and important.

The context of that quote also gives some good thoughts to ponder. Though these are all points that have been discussed before.

I think all of those things are GREAT suggestions, and people should absolutely do them! I just wanted to thread together all the individual ideas, because they're basically all variations of practicing the same thing: being mindful of the present moment.

And this is something you get better at by doing all these things, yes! But the real progress is in noticing that you can take this mindset anywhere you go, at any time.
