Colin explains how constant connectivity erodes attention, sleep, and creativity, and why leaders should treat performance like athletes do: train, recover, and set non-negotiable boundaries. Drawing on his own story\u2014from stress and overwork to completing Iron-distance triathlons and swimming Lake Windermere (11 miles)\u2014Colin shows how small, repeatable actions (not willpower) rebuild focus. We cover habit formation (think ~66 days), visualisation, environment design, and why the mere presence of a smartphone near your bed hurts sleep. We close with tangible micro-detoxes to reclaim presence at work and at home.\n\u00a0\nAbout the guest\u00a0\u00a0:\nColin Corby is a tech industry veteran turned Digital Detox & Mindset Coach. He helps professionals and teams protect attention, sleep, and creativity with clear tech boundaries and the \u201cbusiness athlete\u201d approach to sustained performance.\n\u00a0\nKey takeaways:\n\n\nPerformance = habits, not hacks. Train like an athlete: sleep, nutrition, movement, recovery, and clear goals drive better problem-solving and presentations.\n\n\nBoundaries create balance. Separate spaces for work/rest; add \u201cphone-free\u201d rules at meals and evenings; move the phone out of the bedroom\u2014use a real alarm.\n\n\nEnvironment beats willpower. Reduce triggers: put the charger in another room, read a book at night, and pick offline spaces for focus blocks.\n\n\nStart tiny, compound slowly. Build change with small steps (10\u201315-minute offline breaks, walk to a different room, close your eyes to reset visual overload).\n\n\nMake it social. Enjoy online content together (share the fun, don\u2019t scroll alone); be fully present with people in front of you.\n\n\nMindset shift: business athlete. Self-care isn\u2019t \u201csoft\u201d\u2014it\u2019s how leaders deliver under pressure. Treat sleep before big days as non-negotiable.\n\n\nGuard your skills in the AI era. Don\u2019t outsource all thinking; keep writing, reading, and critical-thinking muscles active.\n\n\nVisualize the finish line. Use athlete-style visualization to stick with new routines for the long run (habits often need ~66 days).\n\n\n\u00a0\nConnect with the guest\u00a0\u00a0\nExplore Colin\u2019s resources, videos, and TEDx talk via the Digital Detox Coach\u00a0website and YouTube channel.Requests or a specific resource you want from Colin?
