I’m working on a new theory of sorts. A dumbed-down, simplified, lay-person theory on happiness and fulfillment, and as I work through this mentally, I want to begin putting some of these thoughts down in writing.

My thinking can be summed up by saying I think there are three main modes of living (mentally-speaking).

1. Present.
   
2. Distracted
   
3. Deep thought
   

My question is,  why are we so damn distracted all the time? Why can I be one person in one scenario and a different person in another depending on the process or place I am currently thinking? How do I create a bit more balance, a bit more presence?
