How to fix your broken brain & improve focus

Physically exiling your phone, starving your focus hours of carbs, and why healing your attention span makes you feel worse before it makes you feel better.

With Hamza Ahmed

Hamza Ahmed is talking straight to his own audience, the ones who comment in broken half-sentences and ask three unrelated questions before he can answer the first one. The pop explanation for this is that it's just a personality quirk, something to laugh off as 'so ADHD.' Hamza's actual model is sharper and less comfortable: attention span is a trained trait, shaped daily by where your phone sits, what you eat before you try to think, and what you let your mind do when it finally has nothing to do. He walks through what he would and wouldn't let his own kids do with a phone, what he eats before deep work versus before a workout, and what happens inside his head once the phone and the sugar are gone. This protocol pulls the operational pieces out of that monologue, the ones built to physically retrain a mind that has been trained to scatter.
