About This Video

In this video, I talk about a surprisingly simple way to get out of a rut: paper. When I’m stuck, overwhelmed, or just mentally foggy from being on screens all day, going analog helps me reset fast. I break down why longhand writing feels “magical” for clarity—because it slows my thinking down just enough to make my next step obvious instead of spinning in tabs, notes, and half-finished drafts. I also cover the tangibility of paper books and why reading on paper can feel calmer and more focused than reading on a screen. And then we zoom out to the bigger issue: digital fatigue. If your brain is tired, adding more apps usually isn’t the answer—sometimes the best productivity move is to reduce inputs and give your attention something physical. I share actionable ways to reintroduce longhand writing, paper reading, and low-tech breaks so you can build consistency without burning out.
