Good Morning! Let’s Talk About Control.
A friend once told me his phone was “ruining his life.”
He blamed it for his poor focus and constant distraction — so I told him to hand it over.
I switched it off and placed it far away.
Ten minutes later, he was restless — tapping the table, scrolling through air, asking, “So… what now?”
That’s when I realised: the problem wasn’t the phone. It was the habit.
If you can’t sit still for 15 minutes without reaching for your phone, it’s not technology that owns you — it’s dependency.
Your phone isn’t stealing your time. You’re giving it away, scroll by scroll.
The solution isn’t deleting apps. It’s rebuilding discipline.
Use your phone with intention — not instinct.
Feed your mind with books, quiet, and purpose instead of endless noise.
Your phone is a tool. But only if you stay the one holding it.
Question:
Can you spend just 15 minutes today — no phone, no noise — and see what your mind does in silence?
