Distractions are nothing new, but the sheer amount of distractions available to us in our modern world is overwhelming. It is impossible to talk about distraction without acknowledging the impact of technology on our lives, but Katie pulls back the curtain on technology to explore what is really behind our attraction to it. What is the root cause of distraction and how can we overcome it? If you desire to live a purposeful life without succumbing to the onslaught of distractions coming your way, join us for this powerful conversation.
In this episode, we cover:
Uncovering the root cause of distraction
Choosing intentionality in how we rest
How our interactions with technology impact our children
The importance of knowing and remembering what you believe
The power of creating meaningful moments for our kids to remember
A mindset shift for when we fall short of our goals with technology
Embracing the current season instead of always waiting for the next one
Identifying what to prioritize and what to let go from season to season
Setting yourself up for success to avoid the allure of screen time
Finding the balance of learning new things online without spending too much time behind a screen
