Distraction Lockdown for Dads
By Elwood · Fatherhood, faith, and focused creation.
Your attention is leadership capital. If your phone owns your mind, your mission and your family feel it first.
The Lockdown Rules
- No-scroll first 60 minutes. Win the day before the feed gets your brain.
- Notifications default-off. Calls from family stay on. Everything else earns access.
- One social block per day. Consume and post on purpose, then exit.
What changed for me
I stopped mistaking activity for progress. Quiet focus gave me better work and better presence at home.
