Why Even Short Phone Checks Hurt Your Focus
Every time you glance at your phone, your brain needs time to regain deep focus. What feels like a short check costs far more than seconds.
Research shows that the mere presence of a phone on your desk reduces cognitive capacity, even when it is face down and silent.
Over time, these micro interruptions erode your ability to think deeply, solve problems creatively, and feel present.

- A physical Focus Pad that gives your phone a home while you work
