I love this thought-provoking idea.  In the world of ADHD, I would add another idea – your life is the sum total of where you aim your attention.  Aka, how you spend your time.

It has become easier and easier to spend our time on entertainment and low-value activities – think Instagram reels; group text alerts; news pundits predicting the future…the vast majority of what we now do on our phones.

The sum total of all of those minutes, is your life.  You can engage with your partner…go on a date, talk about your dogs, play with your kids…or you can...disappear into your phone.  Entertainment seems benign, while actually, it steals your time, your attention, and your relationships.

I’m not anti – phone.  I’m anti – mindless, addictive, pointing away from one’s partner and family.  Connection is critical to your own (and your family’s) well being. 

Forget about the ‘right time.’  There is only time.
