I knew exactly where my lack of focus was coming from: "Hello, my name is Ashlee, and I'm addicted to my phone." What started as staying informed turned into chasing dopamine hits through endless scrolling. I'd pick up my phone for one thing and end up on TikTok twenty minutes later, wondering how I even got there. My bedtime routine was a battlefield, over an hour of scrolling before I could fall asleep, blue light winning the nightly war to get rest. Then I removed my phone from my bedroom entirely. The first night? I slept through the entire night for the first time in months. Thirty days later, I've finished three books, don't touch my phone for two hours after waking, and I'm learning what it feels like to be present in my own life again. This is what happens when you decide you want something different and you're willing to do something different to get it.
