And that’s why we feel both rushed and stuck. Have you ever opened your phone for "just a minute," then suddenly realized 45 minutes slipped by? Or skimmed five headlines, read none of them, then said to yourself: "I just don’t have the time to focus." You’re not alone. But this isn’t really about time. It’s about attention. And what we’re asking of it

What Is a Scrolling Book? A New Way to Read That Meets You Where You Are — Then Takes You Somewhere Else

Real phrases for real pressure.

Today’s kids are growing up in a world where screens are part of everyday life—from learning to playing to staying connected. That’s not necessarily bad. But it’s a big shift. And like all big changes, it comes with risks and questions.

We all do it. Check a message mid-conversation. Scroll while stirring the pasta. Glance at work emails during playtime. And most of the time, we don’t even notice we’re doing it. But our kids do. And they learn from it.

We live in a time where quiet is rare. There’s always a notification, a scroll, a video playing somewhere. Most of us don’t even notice it anymore—it’s just the background noise of life. But slowly, over time, this constant digital stimulation begins to shape the way our minds work. And not always for the better. Let’s look at what’s happening—and what we can do about it.
