Tobias, from accounting: The shipping department is the only one running at a loss. Why is your department ordering so much furniture?

Starting from basically birth, we learn. Learning is the process of creating models in our heads of corresponding causes and effects. This is what makes intelligence powerful. You can know, to a point, what is going to happen before it does. However, the causes in reality are complex and not always perceivable. When this happens, we experience emotional discomfort, the fear of the unpredictable. In stories, there is nothing but the story, so everything is built to create and then satisfy that sense of tension. This is the pleasure of learning.
Do nothing.
This is not a joke. Sit comfortably, commit to doing nothing for a period of time, and then do nothing. Do not have your phone. Do not prepare by 'just taking care of these few things' before doing the nothing. Do not look up the random thing that pops into your head. Do not set up music, a podcast, or some other distraction.
Just. Be.
