from Man That Can with Lachlan Stuart · host Lachlan Stuart
Message me your 'Takeaways'.Yesterday morning I was on a walk with my son Freddie, a moment that's supposed to be just us, and I was scrolling Instagram.Then I looked up. And there he was.That moment hit me harder than anything I've read about screen time or presence. Because I know better. And I was still doing it.In this episode I share the 3-step process I'm now using to actually put the phone down and be present with my family, not just physically there, but mentally there too.You'll learn:- Why self-control alone will never fix a phone addiction (and what does)- How to decide which moments in your day actually matter, and protect them- The "Brick" — the tool I use to physically lock my phone during family time- What your phone is actually replacing (and why attaching pain to this changes everything)- The circle exercise - what are you missing while you're scrolling?- Why a great life is built one small moment at a time, and how many you're giving awayI also share the Instagram post that stopped me in my tracks, why I've fallen off the rails with this myself, and why I'm going back to the process that works.Ready to stop putting life on hold and start locking in what matters?
