In the noise and commotion of the world, can we block it out? The addition of social media and the snap when a notification lights up our phone. Can we resist turning and looking? With the endless cacophony of background music, podcasts, notification “dings”, and the like, can we focus on our work?
This will be the great defining factor in much of the future success we have. Can we shut off the world of notifications and social media (which are built to suck us into the endless loop of doom-scrolling and dopamine chasing) and focus our effort and attention on building our business and spending quiet time with our family?
It’s hard, but we must practice and learn to sit quietly, without the background noise, to free ourselves from the trap.
