About this listen

In this episode of Learning To Live, we dive into the importance of attention.

We break down our experimental results of our no phones challenge and social media detox. We discuss our reactions to the "Brain Rot Emergency" episode of the Diary of a CEO podcast, which is centered around attention spans, loneliness, and the growing impact of technology on our lives. We also share our thoughts on "Deep Work" by Cal Newport and look into how we can harness the skill of focus as a means of fulfilment.

Topics covered in this episode:

• What actually happened after 3 weeks without unessential screen time

• Figuring out how to live a meaningful life in a world designed to distract us.

• How attention and “Deep Work” shape the person you become

• Why environmental design is key to overcoming "willpower" challenges
