Short journal · Original editorial · Attention with edges
A reader keeps checking how many pages remain.
Attention has a context. A useful boundary describes what belongs in this moment and how you will return to what you set aside. A boundary can be small and temporary; it need not become a rule for every day.
Choose a short stopping point and put the page counter out of sight.
Notice what the change asks of another person. An experiment is more considerate when their choice and limits remain visible.
