Uzwa ucingo lwakho luhamba ephaketheni lakho — kodwa akukho mlayezo, futhi kwesinye isikhathi akukho ucingo. Ukuhamba kwamazwi kuyinto engajwayelekile, ivamise kakhulu, futhi kuwumnyango omncane wokuthi ubuchopho bakho buphenduke kanjani kumadivayisi akho.
Ucingo lwakwenza ukuthi ukungabi nezinto kube ukukhetha, futhi sahlula lokho. Kodwa ukungabi nezinto kwakusebenza ngempela — emkhakheni wakho wobuciko, umuzwa wakho wokuba khona, kanye nekhono lakho lokucabanga. Nansi lokho esikulahlekelwe yikho, nokuthi kungani kubalulekile ukukubuyisela.
Izindawo zokuphumula zedijithali, ukuhamba kwegciwane, imikhankaso yama-30 ngosuku, izinhlelo zokuvimba — umkhakha ophelele uthengisa izindlela zokusebenzisa ucingo lwakho kancane. Sihambe ngempela ezivivinyweni. Izixwayiso ezidume kakhulu aziphumelelanga. Lokho okuphuma phambili akukhangayo, kuyabiza, futhi kuyasebenza.
Wonke umuntu ufisa inombolo — amahora amabili? amane? Ucwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi inombolo iyisikhathi esingalungile sokubuza. Nansi indlela yokuthi isikhathi sokubuka akukhombisi kahle umonakalo, futhi okwenziwayo.
Ukulibazisa akusikho ukungasebenzi — kuyindlela yokugwema imizwa. Futhi ufoni lwakho luyithuluzi elisebenza kahle kakhulu lokugwema elake lwakhiwa. Nansi indlela obamba ngayo uma umsebenzi uba nzima, nokuthi ungawuphula kanjani lo msebenzi.
Ukukhathazeka kokungaphumeleli kubonakala sengathi kukhulu ngezikhathi ongakabi khona. Empeleni, kukhuluma ngempela ngempela yokukhangisa eyenzelwe ukukukhombisa konke okuhle kwabanye ngasikhathi sinye. Nansi imicabango ye-FOMO nokuthi ungayithulisa kanjani.

Uyazi ukuthi izindaba zikhathaza. Nokho, uqhubeka nokuskrola. Ukufunda izindaba ezimbi akuyona impumelelo yokuzikhandla — kuyisimo sokuphila esithathwa yizindaba ezingapheli. Nansi okukhona nokuthi ungakumisa kanjani.
Ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwedijithali akusho ukususa konke nokuhamba endaweni engaphandle kwenethiwekhi. Kungumqondo ocacile: qinisekisa ukuthi usebenzisa kuphela amathuluzi ambalwa anenhloso yokwenza impilo yakho ibe ngcono. Nansi inguqulo esebenzayo.
"Ukuphuma kwe-dopamine" kwaba yinto edumile yokubuyisela uhlelo lokreward lwekhanda lakho. Inkinga: awukwazi ukuphuma ku-dopamine, futhi inguqulo edumile iqonda kabi ukuthi i-dopamine iyini. Nansi okwangempela ngaphansi kwale mithi.
Ngabe uke waba nomuzwa wokuthi ingqondo yakho iyaphuma ezindaweni eziningi futhi ngokomzimba awukwazi ukuhlala endaweni eyodwa? Kukhona igama lokuthi — ibhayisikobho ye-popcorn — futhi ichaza ukuthi kungani ukuhlala kuthanda ukuba nzima.
I-Oxford iyibizele igama leNyanga. Wonke umuntu uyayisebenzisa. Kodwa kwenzekani empeleni uma uzwa ikhanda lakho lishintsha labe luhlaza ngemva kwamahora okuskrola? Nansi isayensi yangempela engemuva kwalesi sisho.
I-Nomophobia — ukukhathazeka ngokungabi nefoni — ithinta iningi labasebenzisi be-smartphone. Nansi okukhuluma ucwaningo ngayo, indlela yokuyazi, okwenza kube khona, nokuthi yini empeleni esiza.
Imizuzu eyishumi nambili yokuqala ngemva kokuvuka ibeka umoya wansuku zonke — futhi abantu abaningi bayinika ngqo kumphakathi owenziwe ukuze ubakhathaze. Nansi okumele ukwenze ngaleyo sikhala, ngaphandle kokulandela uhlelo lwezikhumbuzo lwezihlabani ezinzima.
"Ukusebenzisa ucingo ngokweqile" kusetshenziswa kalula, kodwa abacwaningi bahlukanisile izimpawu ezithile, ezilinganisekayo zokusebenzisa ucingo ngendlela enkinga. Nansi lokho ubufakazi bukhombisa — nokuthi ungakuhlukanisa kanjani phakathi kokusebenzisa kakhulu nokusebenzisa ngendlela enkinga.
Ukukhanya kwekhanda akukhanyi noma kungenakubonwa — kunezizathu ezithile, ezitholakalayo. Nansi lokho ucwaningo olukhuluma ngakho nokuthi yini eyenza kube lula.
Imihlahlandlela ithi "amahora amabili kuphela" kodwa ayichazanga ukuthi kungani — noma ukuthi yini ebalulekile. Nansi ukuhlaziywa okusekelwe ocwaningweni lokuthi amakhompyutha athinta kanjani ubuchopho obukhulayo nokuthi lokho kusho ukuthini empilweni.
