Ever feel like life is taking longer than it used to? You’re not imagining it. In this episode, Mark Ostach introduces two new terms — “Life Lagging” and “Digital Pulse” — to describe the hidden costs of distraction in our always-on world. From red lights to PB&Js, Mark paints relatable (and hilarious) pictures of how our digital habits create micro-delays that ripple through our day, our relationships, and even our health.

Blending storytelling, neuroscience, and a touch of humor, Mark invites you to pause, breathe, and reflect on how technology might be speeding up your digital pulse while slowing down your actual life. You’ll leave this episode with a renewed awareness of your own rhythms — and practical ways to reclaim presence, focus, and purpose in a hyper-connected world.

• Discover what “life lagging” means — and how it’s silently stealing your time and energy.
• Learn how to reset your “digital pulse” before burnout sets in.
• Find small, powerful ways to re-sync with the real world and the people right in front of you.
