🌐 The Problem: Constant Distraction
- We live in an age of endless scrolling — social media, news feeds, and notifications.
- Our attention is constantly pulled in different directions.
- The average person checks their phone over 100 times a day.
- This digital overload leads to reduced focus, stress, and productivity.
🧠 Why Focus Matters
- Focus is the foundation of deep work and creative thinking.
- Without it, tasks take longer and quality suffers.
- Regaining control of your attention helps improve mental health, relationships, and overall well-being.
📱 Signs You’re Trapped in the Scroll Loop
- You reach for your phone first thing in the morning.
- You feel anxious when you’re offline.
- You struggle to complete tasks without checking your phone.
- You lose track of time while using social media.
🔁 The Cycle of Digital Distraction
- You feel bored or stressed.
- You open your phone for a “quick check.”
- Minutes turn into hours.
