Today, why phones aren’t just a problem for kids, what Americans really believe about eternity, the impact of focus and the usefulness of the challenges you’re facing.
It’s Not Just The Kids
How Phones Hurt Adult Relationships and Married Couples.
There’s been a lot of (appropriate) attention on phones and kids. The reality is that phones are also impacting adult relationships like your team, your friendships, and, yes, your marriage too.
This articleis an invitation to take an honest look in the mirror, and pursue greater attention, focus, and connection with the person you promised your attention to.

Most people try to do too much and end up doing very little well. The One Thing argues that real progress comes from ruthless focus. Ask: what’s the one thing that matters most right now? Do that first. When priorities shrink, impact grows. As you know, but easily forget, focus compounds results. Keller built a real estate empire with this mindset (he’s the Keller in Keller-Williams).
This is especially relevant in the digital chaos most leaders live in today.
