Can I tell you about something that happened to me recently?
I developed a habit. It started innocently enough – just a little extra scrolling during a difficult time.
But soon, I was reaching for my phone instead of a book. Checking the news before I'd even made my morning coffee.
After a month of this, something felt off. I felt empty. Scattered. Not like my usual focused, happy, life-loving self.
Then I saw my screen time report: four hours a day. On average.
I thought about everything I could have done, read, created during that time – and it became clear. I needed to fix this. So I put myself through a Distraction Detox, and I did it in four steps.
Here's what we cover:
• Why distraction isn't a discipline problem, but your brain trying to avoid discomfort
• How the pain–pleasure principle quietly pulls you toward scrolling instead of creating
• The hidden cost of low-quality consumption on your self-image, focus, and confidence
• The emerging divide between the creator class and the consumer class and why it matters
• How distraction reinforces an identity of avoidance while focus builds power and momentum
• The four-part Distraction Detox that helps you reclaim your attention and your life
