Integrate solitude into your life to increase your happiness and productivity.
from Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World by Cal Newport
Solitude is valuable for everyone. Everyone needs time away from people or anything that will give them input. This allows a person to reflect on themself and their values. It can benefit them in multiple ways such as allowing them to solve hard problems. It also gives you a break from a busy day.
