When Phones Get in the Way of Ideas
Ideas rarely arrive on schedule. They show up mid-conversation, during a walk, between meetings, or in the quiet seconds before sleep. The instinct is to reach for a phone—but phones don’t just capture ideas, they interrupt them.
Unlocking the screen invites distraction. Notifications pull attention elsewhere. What started as a quick note turns into a scroll, a reply, or a forgotten thought. The idea is recorded, but the moment is broken.
