Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I eat while scrolling, watch while texting, take my pleasures with my attention split a dozen ways
- I eat the meal, hear the music, walk the beautiful place, but it all stays oddly flat and surface-level
- My day is a constant trickle of little pings
- When I’m tired in the evening I just default to scrolling because it’s right there and takes zero effort, and afterward I feel emptier than before
- I eat almost every meal staring at a screen, and I’ll suddenly look down to find the plate empty with no memory of tasting any of it
