A brilliant article Manab. It's refreshing to see someone write about the reality of writing and reading on Medium while recognizing it's the best platform to start writing on. It is hard work! There is absolutely cognitive overload and I'm glad it's not just me experiencing that.

Tuning out and listening to music or reading real books is a healthy strategy. I've so many books sitting beside my desk that I keep meaning to read but somehow get so hooked on Medium, I don't get around to it. Cognitive overload is an issue on Medium, and we need to take care of our minds and only write and read what we're humanely able to do, within reason. Otherwise, I fear it's not healthy.
