LESSON 5 · Take Back Your Attention

Beyond the Phone

A truly intentional setup reaches past your phone to your whole digital life. Your computer desktop deserves the same cleanup: close stray tabs, hide distracting bookmarks, and keep separate browser profiles for work and leisure.

Smart home devices also need scrutiny. Every always-listening speaker is a potential privacy risk and another source of alerts. Ask whether each one genuinely improves your day or just adds clutter.

The goal is a tech setup that serves your values. Every device and app should earn its place by making you more capable or genuinely entertained. Anything that fails that test is just consuming attention for nothing.
