But the older, superior brain regions that "control you", e.g. dominate over planning decisions made by your cortex - which shrinks further as you become addicted to technology - aren't going anywhere.

Actually, you’re quite wrong. Modern technology is designed to make money. They make money by stimulating the limbic system and primitive part of the brain. Watch Elon musk talk about it and AI to Joe Rogan. And THATS 5 years ago, it’s clear where this is heading.

Since graduating at UW, I am still a loyal Blackberry user. With the disconnect of the Blackberry server, I am still able to use the Blackberry Passport. It has no social media, no games, and no addition apps other than the default that originally came with. A year N half later after the disconnect, I continue to use it for calls, SMS text, emails, contacts, notes, and calendar. Basically, it’s just productivity. I recently bought an Android device but still haven’t really set it up yet. There are just too many things going on that device and I don’t want to get lost into a sea of apps and time consuming of looking onto a glass screen. I like the hard keyboard and minimalism of the Blackberry devices. 🙂

I have GOT to do something to get a grip on my productivity, so I'm just curious as to how many hours you dedicate to different things! Thank you! ^.^

It's hosted by Andrew Huberman who is a nuerology professor at stanford and all the information is incredibly useful and backed in science. He also frequently has guests on the podcast that are experts in the respective topic. 10/10 podcast, it's what got me into podcasts actually

nevermind, i found the solution, the sortcut is used only to choose between focuses, now that you have the shortcut, you need to configure your focus modes, you go to focus - choose the focus mode you want to configure - on customize screen select "Choose" and then it will let you create a new page with the apps you want, or choose from an existing page on your home screen, my advise is to create a new page first with the apps you want, and then once you save the cchanges, turn on the focus mode you just configures and THEN add the widget, because that is the only way it will let you add widgets to the created pages
