Transcript
The past three years, I've been on a mission to kill the old version of me and rebrand myself. Rebrand my business, my relationships, my health, my fashion, and my environment. I wanna be the man my younger self dreamed of becoming no I can be the leader my future kids deserve, and I'm gonna take you on a ride for how I'm doing it in every life category. This week is about phone addiction. We can't even get through a movie without scrolling, eating dinner with YouTube playing, scrolling x in the bathroom, listening to a podcast every time you drive, convincing yourself you deserve screen time when you need to rest. It's stealing our focus, our dopamine, and our years. So here's what I've done to fix it. I'm doing one thing at a time. If I'm cooking, I'm cooking. If I'm driving, I'm driving. No background noise, no splitting focus. Phone zones. No phone in the bedroom. Period. If I wanna watch a YouTube video or a show, it's only on the TV. Recharge without numbing. No more scrolling when I need to rest. I'll go for a rank, a drive, or pick up a new hobby instead. Time blocking. I bad my DMs, texts, and emails instead of reacting to every notification. And finally, no phone worst hour, no phone last hour. Flow state in the morning, deep rest at night. These are my life rules. A code I live by. And the days of broken promises are over.
