Reclaiming Your Attention in the Digital Age

Your phone is rewiring your brain. Research shows the average adult can only focus for 47 seconds—we're all developing "Internet Brain." Every notification check is like pulling a slot machine lever, chasing intermittent rewards that fragment our attention and sense of self.


The solution isn't complicated: remove your phone from sight entirely during meaningful activities. Keep it out of your bedroom. Take regular digital sabbaths. These aren't Luddite suggestions—they're human necessities.


Protecting your attention isn't just about productivity; it's about reclaiming your agency in an algorithmic world designed to capture and monetize your focus.
