We weren’t born glued to screens. We trained our brains to chase stimulation and avoid stillness — and the phone just became the fastest exit from boredom. This episode unpacks how infinite scroll, dopamine loops, and “attention residue” quietly rewire your nervous system, drain your focus, and keep you from building anything real.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• Why boredom now triggers a reflex to scroll (and how that loop was designed)

• Dopamine anticipation: why the maybe keeps you hooked

• Attention residue: the hidden focus tax of “just a quick check”

• How algorithms polarize your worldview and spike reactivity

• The trap of revenge bedtime procrastination (and how to break it)

• A simple, practical protocol to retrain your brain:
  10-second pause → interrupt the urge → change your state → return to presence

• Micro-habits that help you win back your mind: phone out of sight, daily silence, grayscale home screen, “pause before yes,” and nightly presence check-ins

Real success is invisible until it’s undeniable. It looks like focus, consistency, and calm — not constant stimulation. For the next 24 hours, every time you feel the itch to pick up your phone, don’t. Notice it. Breathe. Choose you.
