Focus Is the New Wealth (How the Attention Economy Is Stealing Yours)
Social media isn’t free—it’s funded by your attention, and the cost is higher than most people realize. What masquerades as poor focus, sleep issues, and low motivation is often something more systemic: an engineered attention economy designed to train your brain for novelty instead of depth. In this episode, I share my personal experience with a digital declutter and unpack how constant scrolling fragments attention, crushes flow, hijacks our dopamine, and our dreams. We explore why “it’s not that bad” and “it’s the world we live in” are usually ego talking, how attention residue erodes your highest-value work, and why reclaiming focus requires friction, frustration tolerance, and clear boundaries with technology. If you feel busy but unfulfilled, stimulated but scattered, this is a practical PSA and a deeper invitation: reclaim your attention, protect your mornings and evenings, and remember—your big goals, aspirations, and dreams might very well depend on this.
