In this video we explain the concept of Getting Leverage, and how it is one of the most crucial steps in creating long lasting change on your journey to become free from the grip of addictive platforms.

We share real life stories and go deep into what actually makes someone shift from “I should change” to “I must change.”

We also narrow down on the painful leverage you can use to finally stop yourself from doomscrolling.

This video builds on the concepts shared in the previous episode about the 6 Human Needs that drive digital behavior. If you have not watched it yet, we highly recommend starting there so you can clearly understand what is fueling your habits before trying to change them: Why Am I Addicted To My Screen? (And How To Fix It Long-Term)

Our goal is simple:

To help you use technology consciously, instead of letting it use you.
