## Resource

In Part Two of our conversation on phones and distraction, we move from awareness to action. If your phone is shaping you, how do you take your attention back? In this episode, we talk about: • Practical ways to reduce digital distraction • Why discipline beats motivation • How to rebuild depth in a distracted world • Creating rhythms that protect focus • The role of silence and boredom • How to live intentionally instead of reactively This isn’t about deleting everything and moving off-grid. It’s about formation. Your attention is your life. And if you don’t decide where it goes, something else will.
