summary
Claims specific enough to decide: average people check smartphones 150 times a day; a 3‑minute interruption costs 10–15 minutes to regain focus; 65% "fabbing"—people look at phones while talking and 10% under‑25 message during sex. Concrete fixes shown: blocked calendar slots for recurring two‑hour deep sessions that produce in two hours what others take eight, analog watch to avoid notifications, do‑not‑disturb door sign, and using AI to offload rote tasks so humans do creative, high‑intensity work.
