Leonardo Oliviera: How has social media influenced our focus and productivity?

• Social media rewires your brain, making focus and deep reading feel harder than ever before.
• Addiction isn’t a glitch, it’s the design. Your attention is the currency, and you are the product.
• Screens are the new cigarettes, eroding presence, relationships, and civil discourse in daily life.
• Fear and outrage fuel algorithms, keeping you hooked while weakening real-world connection.
• Protecting your inputs. What you watch, read, and follow shapes your creative and emotional outputs.
• Create intentional guardrails with tech and social media to reclaim focus and presence.
