In the 1970s, society realized something important: as modern conveniences made our daily lives less physically demanding, we had to start intentionally making time for physical exercise just to stay healthy. Today, we are facing the exact same shift—but with our minds.

In this video, we explore a fascinating article on why we must now intentionally carve out time and space to “exercise” our minds. Just as we go to the gym to work our muscles, we need to build unplugged, analog habits to maintain our critical thinking, focus, and academic rigor in a highly digital world.
