  May 8, 20261h 5mS0

  <p>Distilling our live conversation recorded above, Wendy aka Gwendolyn Bounds made a kick-ass list of 10 recommendations for strategically tuning out of the digital noise assaulting us all nowadays. Worth reading. Below, I add a select few of my own, forged and tested in the real world of a older single-dad entrepreneur: </p><p>* Run a 1-minute experiment not reflexively looking at your phone. The next time you’re bored—or think you’re bored, because you may be only conditioned to feel bored when you’re actually full of interesting ideas and thoughts—instead of pulling out your phone, leave it i...
