Listen (or re-listen, yes it is that good) to our fist chat, How to Make Space for Things that Matter, here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1547113/11832398

Highlights 

  • Our ability to focuses is declining  due to digital distractions, affecting all age groups.
  •  Digital media use reshapes brain function, hindering deep thought and concentration because it reduces our attention span.
  •  Reclaiming focus starts with self-awareness of how digital habits influence behavior.
  • Ask yourself: Am I being intentional with my technology use? Is my use aligned with my personal values?
  • Simple and enjoyable exercises like nature walks without phones and rediscovering neglected leisure activities can help you re-learn how to focus
  •  "What you give attention to will shape your life."
  •  Prioritize attention and intentionality in daily choices to find more joy in your journey.
