Collective habits lag behind the realities of a changed world [contrarian]

It’s because our world has changed, but, like a collective case of jet lag, most of us are still attuned to the rhythms and habits of the place left behind. It’s past time to find our bearings in this new place.

SEED: This metaphor of collective jet lag could anchor an essay exploring how inherited mindsets (work rhythms, attention patterns, social expectations) are ill-suited to our current digital/accelerated environment.
