The vast majority of people on this site love being shown either a new idea or an old idea expressed differently.
These diagrams provide that little shot of that creative emotion which is fun.
Don't know how useful it is but I "feel" like I learn something from either the way a concept has been portrayed or a genuine new juxtaposition of ideas.
But is it easy to see the concept of the description in the image? I believe that is the goal. Some worked better than others, but I think most of them are pretty good.
I see it as, I have a single topic on the left, then I get distracted by another, so my attention splits.Those rabbit hole introduce more distractions, and so on...
You set out to do something for an hour. You're distracted by something else, taking away a portion of that hour. More distractions, more time taken away.
Replace time there with attention, resources, focus, effort, etc.
That's the thing with these abstract images, possibilities are endless.
On the same note, please buy my abstract white painting. It's only a million. ;)
I'm guessing because you start one with one big thing on the left and end up with 16 small things on the right. So now it's harder to figure out which ones are important or valuable, etc. so you're more likely to spend time distracted by things which are not as important or valuable. But, who knows?
These are well done, but they're hardly universally agreeable sentiments. I find too many of them trite, self-defeating or otherwise disappointing, eg advice for defectors, rather than cooperators (in a Prisoners Dilemma sense).
