- Good moments slip past me because I’m already onto the next thing
- I eat while scrolling, watch while texting, take my pleasures with my attention split a dozen ways

- Savoring: Getting More From the Good
Savoring is the deliberate act of noticing, prolonging, and intensifying a positive experience instead of letting it slip past.
