NICHOLAS BOOTHMAN
• The Shiny Object Syndrome: Online
Shopping. The allure of something new,
something better.
She created a counter-strategy. A Time Bandit
Busting Protocol.
• Email Lockdown: She set specific times to
check email – three times a day, and only for a
set period. She turned off notifications. She
unsubscribed from unnecessary lists.
• Social Media Curfew: She limited herself to 30
minutes of social media per day, and only
during her lunch break. She used a timer. She
unfollowed accounts that triggered negative
emotions.
• News Diet: She restricted her news intake to
once a day, and only from reliable sources. She
avoided clickbait headlines and doom-
scrolling.
• Shopping Freeze: She unsubscribed from
marketing emails from online retailers. She
made a rule: no impulse purchases.
• Meeting Makeover: She started scheduling
shorter, more focused meetings. She set
agendas. She declined unnecessary invitations.
