Let’s talk about something serious.

Like…

dangerously serious…

You. Your phone. The bathroom.

You know what I’m talking about.

You walk in with your phone, thinking, “I’ll just check one thing real quick…”

Next thing you know, you’re:

• Deep in a Reddit thread about ancient Roman plumbing

• Watching a guy build a mud hut with a leaf

• Looking up reviews for a toaster oven you don’t need

And when you finally emerge from the porcelain palace, 35 minutes have vanished and your legs are numb.

Here’s the Math That Hurts

Let’s say you do this twice a day. That’s easily 60 minutes total.

That’s 7 hours a week.

That’s 30 hours a month.

That’s 15 full DAYS a year… spent doomscrolling on the toilet.

That’s enough time to:

• Launch a business

• Write a book

• Learn jiu-jitsu

• Or just enjoy a poop in peace like our ancestors

The Fix (And It’s So Dumb-Simple)

🚫 No phones in the bathroom. Ever.

Not even to check that one thing.

Not even to “set the vibe” with music.

Not even to escape your screaming toddler (okay, maybe once).

Put the phone down. Handle your business. Reclaim your time.

Real Talk:

Since I stopped taking my phone with me, I got an hour back every day.

That’s 7 hours a week I now spend reading, building, or not staring at memes while sitting on a cold seat.

If you want to get sharper, more productive, and feel less like a tech-zombie—start here.

Small win. Big ROI,

George

PS – If you’re reading this in the bathroom right now… I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed. 😤
