Locked In: Building Focus in the Age of Distraction

Hosted by Mohamad Dabbagh and Eyad, this episode explores why focusing feels harder than ever for students today. Ever opened your laptop to study… and somehow ended up scrolling, switching tabs, checking notifications, and doing everything except the actual work? You’re not alone. From constant digital stimulation and instant dopamine hits to the myth of multitasking, this conversation breaks down what’s actually happening to our attention spans — and why discipline is about more than just “trying harder.” Mohamad and Eyad also share realistic strategies students can use to build better habits, reduce distractions, and stay consistent without burning themselves out. Because in a world designed to distract you, protecting your attention matters more than ever.
