Course overview

Stop looking down at your devices mindlessly. Quantifiable Outcomes.

Poor digital engagement isn't just about social media distractions. It encompasses unoptimized use of critical professional tools - Email, Slack, Teams, industry news, and data platforms that should drive your success but often derail it. For high-performing professionals, unmanaged digital patterns manifest as:


❌ Fragmented Focus ❌ Execution Bottlenecks ❌ Diminished Innovation Capacity


MEASURABLE IMPACT ON YOUR EXECUTIVE PRESENCE & PERFORMANCE


🚩 Decision Quality Degradation: The constant digital intake cycle creates cognitive overload, shifting you from strategic thinking to reactive management - precisely when your team needs your highest judgment capabilities.

🚩 Team Engagement Erosion: Your digital presence patterns directly influence team behavior; scattered attention signals misaligned priorities and undermines the performance culture you're working to establish.

🚩 Innovation Blindspots: Strategic digital consumption should expand your perspective. Instead, algorithm-driven information creates false pattern recognition and narrows your solution framework.

🚩 Performance Sustainability Risk: From cognitive bandwidth constraints to physiological impacts, unoptimized digital patterns create compounding productivity debt that undermines your leadership sustainability.


You can't scale your impact until you architect your attention system. Teams rely on leaders who demonstrate focused execution, strategic perspective, and sustainable performance - especially in digitally saturated environments.


WHO WILL ACHIEVE MAXIMUM ROI FROM THIS SYSTEM

- Performance-oriented professionals ready to examine their digital blind spots, including knowing when to disconnect

- Leaders committed to evidence-based growth frameworks

- Those who recognize that sustainable performance requires systematic attention architecture


WHO THIS SYSTEM IS NOT DESIGNED FOR

- Those seeking quick-fix applications without behavioral engineering

- Digital minimalists looking to eliminate technology rather than optimize its application

- Individuals requiring clinical support for digital behavior patterns


The course combines validated behavioral frameworks with emerging digital performance research, including implementation protocols to ensure sustained results. Participants receive exclusive 1:1 performance coaching with the instructor for customized implementation strategies (full details provided upon enrollment).

What you’ll get out of this course

Activate your Sense of Agency

This course challenges you to introspect: Are in the driver's seat of your habits or has an algorithmic habit taken control?

Identify Attention & Focus Potholes

There are macro digital trends that are fracturing your attention and focus. Through the lens of established research on topics such as nostalgia, psychology of control, humor etc. we will explore why people tend to lose control over their digital habits.

Track metrics beyond screentime

Just counting hours in front of a screen is of limited value. As work, life and entertainment share the same screens, it's time to go beyond tracking screen time. Via Scroll By Choice - you'll develop a baseline score of your relationship with technology, and track progress.

Reclaim Control over your digital habits

Building better digital habits isn’t just about turning off notifications or deleting apps. You'll learn how to use a human-centered Digital Wellness framework—a "trampoline"—to bounce back when distractions pull you into rabbit holes.

Develop an action plan that works you

Leverage 1:1 coaching to personalize your plan - including supporting those around you (ideal for parents)
