Hey everyone, Leo Weston here your friendly neighborhood guide to
navigating this crazy thing called life. And let me tell you,
in today's world, it feels like we're constantly bombarded with information, notifications,
and demands on our attention. Ever, feel like your brain
is just running a marathon every single day. You know
(00:24):
that feeling when you scroll through social media for five
minutes and suddenly realize an hour has vanished. We call
this the digital overload, and it's especially tough for high performers,
those ambitious souls who strive to excel in everything they do.
But guess what, there's a solution, a digital detox specifically
(00:47):
tailored for you. Think of it as hitting the refresh
button on your mind, freeing up space for creativity, focus,
and ultimately achieving your goals like never before. Oh let's
dive into five key takeaways to help you reclaim control
of your digital life and become a true high performing powerhouse. One.
(01:10):
Curate your feed. Imagine your social media feeds as gardens.
What kind of plans do you want to grow there?
Focus on accounts that inspire, educate, or bring you joy.
Ditch the negativity, the drama, and anything that doesn't serve
your purpose. Think quality over quantity. You're not obligated to
(01:32):
follow everyone, even if they have millions of followers. Remember
it's your garden, your rules. Two. Time blocking is your
best friend. This isn't just about scheduling meetings. It's about
consciously allocating time for specific tasks and activities, including those
crucial digital breaks. Schedule dedicated times to check emails, scroll
(01:58):
through social media, or respond to messages outside of these
designated slots. Resist the urge. You'll be amazed at how
much more you can accomplish when your attention isn't constantly fragmented. Three.
Embrace the art of disconnection. Take regular digital detox breaks,
(02:20):
even if it's just for a few hours each day
or a full weekend. Every now and then. Disconnect from emails,
social media and those constant pings. Immerse yourself in activities
that nourish your soul. Spend time and nature, read a
good book, connect with loved ones face to face, or
learn something new. Remember true connection happens offline. Four. Mindfulness
(02:47):
is your superpower. Train your mind to be present in
the moment. When you find yourself reaching for your phone
out of habit, pause and ask yourself, do I really
need this right now? Still, often the answer will be no.
Practice mindfulness throughout your day, save her a cup of coffee,
(03:08):
listen to the sounds around you, or simply focus on
your breath. This awareness will help you break free from
autopilot mode and regain control of your digital consumption. Five.
Set boundaries with grace. Communicate your boundaries to friends, family,
and colleagues. Let them know when you're unavailable online and why.
(03:33):
It might feel awkward at first, but it's crucial for
establishing healthy digital habits. Remember, saying no to distractions is
saying yes to your well being and productivity. Now, let
me tell you a story about Sarah. She was a
high achieving marketing executive, constantly juggling deadlines, client calls, and emails.

digital detox, no social media during work hours, designated times
for checking emails, and regular breaks to go for walks
and clear her head. Within a week, Sarah noticed a
