A powerful critique of a scattered and unfocused life that resonates perfectly in our age of infinite distractions. Seneca argues that by trying to do everything and be everywhere - physically, mentally, or digitally - we end up having no meaningful impact anywhere. True presence requires the discipline of choosing where to direct our attention and energy. This principle applies to career pursuits, relationships, learning, and even our daily attention. The person who commits deeply to fewer things achieves mastery and genuine fulfillment, while the person who spreads thin remains forever superficial. It's a call for intentional living over busy productivity.
