Music has become wallpaper. It plays while you drive, cook, answer email and scroll, which means you have heard your favorite song four hundred times and listened to it maybe twice.
Pick one song today. Sit down, put your phone face down, and listen from the first note to the last. Choose one instrument and follow it the whole way through. The bass line is a good pick because most of us never notice it. When the song ends, sit in the quiet for a few seconds before you reach for anything.
That is three or four minutes of doing exactly one thing. You may hear a part you have missed for years. You may also find out how strong the pull is to pick up your phone, which is worth knowing too.
