“Our brains are sprinting while clocks stay still.” - Researcher, Helena Grieve

In 2024, a Cambridge physics team tracking circadian data noticed the average human day feels 8% shorter than ten years ago—even though atomic time hasn’t changed.

The cause: information velocity. The average person now consumes more data in a week than their grandparents did in a year. Each notification triggers a micro-adrenaline spike, speeding up neural clocks.

In this episode, we get into leaning more analog in an ever-digitalized world as we examine our habits with all the pings, dings, screens, and scrolling.

  • 3 Ideas for a slower, more peaceful life
  • The myth of the dopamine detox and how to reset yours instead
  • The 24-Hour Screen Free Challenge
  • Small habits from digital to analog
  • And more!
