Episode 77 Put Away That Phone! How a Digital Detox Will Improve Your Life with Dr. Gwenyth Jackaway
Guest Dr. Gwenyth Jackaway discusses how we can improve our attention, focus, and sleep, and, as a result, enjoy a better life. And to her, it starts with being present and using our phones and devices with intention and not reflexively. As Dr. Jackaway says, where you focus your attention, is what your life is about. She shares tips and advice on this episode of The Balance Dilemma.
