Interview Kevin on breaking the doom-scroll habit

Thirty-one days. One change to how the day starts.

The idea

The scroll is not neutral. Feed your mind doom before breakfast and it will spend the rest of the day looking for more of it — in the news, at work, across the kitchen table.

This is a thirty-one day challenge to reverse the order. Each day gives you something good to put in first, and something to pass along to somebody else.

It is a small change. It takes a few minutes. What shifts is your attitude, your opinions, and eventually your behavior — in that order.

Inside the book

What you will actually get

  • 31 daily readings

    Short enough to actually do before the day starts.

  • A daily practice

    One thing to notice, one thing to share.

  • The habit underneath

    Why the first input of the morning sets the tone for everything after it.

  • Use it again

    Written to be repeated — a reset you can run every January, or any month you need it.
