Caring takes time, so it's a currency.

Triage your caring like you handle high or low priority requests in any other job you would. Being mindful of what is consuming your time and your brain's free cycles is so imporant.

Some people have become burned-out of caring, and it's dangerous. Burned-out by the internet pulling at their attention all the time, their phone notifications blasting to them telling them something is important but it isn't. Breaking news, but it's about a celebrity's dramatic encounter at a rewards event, and not about our politicians stealing from us.

The era of smartphones have made us emotionally stunted and and opposite of mindful.
