In his bestselling In Praise of Slowness, British author Carl Honore writes that as soon as we remove all sources of stimulation we feel even more anxious and panicked. We feel the need to do something--anything will do--so as to fill up our time.
曾為「經濟學人」等多家國際媒體撰稿的英國暢銷作家歐諾黑在《慢活》一書中寫到，「一旦移除一切刺激的事物，我們便會焦躁不安、恐慌，想找點事情來做，什麼事都好，以便填滿時間。」
