If you spend more than 4 hours a day on your phone, this is for you!
While you're busy chasing virtual validation, life is passing you by...
Your attention is being hijacked Every time you unlock your phone, you step into a trap. Apps exploit your psychology, designed to be addictive.
The goal? Keep you scrolling, no matter the cost.
The world’s become so fast. The media cycle never ends. Our phones have hijacked our attention.
Most knowledge workers never get more than 30 minutes of sustained focus and even the smartest and well-intentioned people can’t sit down for a few hours to read a book without checking their phone.
Computers used to be cool, but now they’re overwhelming. Our machines ping inside our homes, our phones have a rope on our attention, and apps keep us scrolling until we wonder where all the time went.
Face-to-face interactions are replaced by superficial online connections, leading to isolation and disconnection. Glued to your phone, you're not fully present.
Your relationships are suffering.
Your sleep is sabotaged.
Your productivity is plummeting.
You're missing out on real life.
Your physical health is taking a hit.
You're losing touch with yourself.
Feels like time for a rebellion.
While you're busy chasing virtual validation, life is passing you by. Moments of beauty, opportunity, and genuine connection are lost to the endless scroll. Look up and embrace the world around you.
Use technology to enhance your life, not overpower it.
Live.
I write about businesses, financial outlooks, and stock market trends, but once in a blue moon, I remind myself to go off-screen and live as if these things don’t exist. Therefore, I thought to remind you all to do the same.
See you next time.
