That phantom notification buzz vibrates. Your thumb scrolls without thinking. This happens for fours hours daily according to the global average from 2023. Do the math. Four hours each day from age 15 to 79 equals ten straight years staring at your phone. No breaks. No sleep. Just scrolling.
What could you build with ten years? Imagine the novels written, songs composed, gardens grown, or businesses launched. Those little moments add up faster than we realize. Each swipe steals from your creative legacy.
The next time your hand reaches automatically for your phone, pause. Ask yourself if this moment belongs to a tech company or to your creative spirit. Every time you choose to make something instead of consume something, you reclaim a piece of your life. These small choices compound into decades.
What creative project have you always wanted to pursue but “never had time for”? How could you redirect just 30 minutes of your daily phone time toward making something? What would your life look like in five years if you consistently chose creation over consumption?
