In this episode of Minute Mastery Podcast, I dived into one of the most pressing challenges of our time: screen addiction. Whether you're Gen Z or part of an older generation, the constant pull of notifications, social media, and endless scrolling is affecting your ability to focus and be productive.

I share insights from my recent guest appearance on the Gen Free on Plugin to Connect Podcast and discussed how the loss of focus is not just a Gen Z issue but a universal struggle. You’ll learn why screens hijack your brain's focus and how the dopamine-driven feedback loops keep you stuck in distraction. But don’t worry, there’s hope!

In this episode, I provide actionable tips to reclaim your time and your focus, including:

• The importance of setting boundaries around screen time
• How to embrace deep work as your superpower
• The Focus Reset Challenge to help you disconnect and refocus
• Practical steps to build better focus habits and model them for your family.

Key Takeaways:

• Screens and social media are designed to steal your focus and productivity.
• Small changes like turning off notifications and creating tech-free zones can make a big difference.
• Deep work is essential for creativity and productivity—take the time to engage in it.
• The Focus Reset Challenge can help you break the cycle of distraction and reconnect with what truly matters.
