In the queue. &#xA;Still enjoying Lyn’s book (and Aurelius, and Vonnegut at the moment), but am definitely in a phase where I want to re-examine my habits. &#xA;&#xA;However, I think what I’m describing is more than just a “habit,” which I would define as a natural action that’s performed without thinking and which may or may not be useful, but which satisfies some urge. &#xA;Checking one’s mobile device is very UNnatural and while it similarly may or may not be useful, the only thing it satisfies is the tension it, itself, created.  &#xA;&#xA;So, when I reach for this thing and realize I don’t actually have a reason for doing so, there’s some real sense that something has gone awry.  “Why did I pick up this tool if I don’t have a current use for it?!”  It would be like picking up a wrench and realizing I don’t have any bolts to tighten.  That’s the feeling I’m trying to describe and which I don’t yet think has a word.</html></oembed>
