Reclaim Your Brain: Breaking Free from the Algorithm
Manage episode 525701706 series 3470499
“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!
