Episode notes
Metrics Can Crowd Out What Matters
- Chasing objectively measurable wins crowds out subjective but foundational priorities like family and faith.
- Validation-seeking from metrics fuels insecurity and misordered priorities.
Use Social Media Intentionally
- Limit personal social media use to reduce insecurity and judgment.
- Use social platforms intentionally for work or specific interests rather than constant consumption.
Delay Phones For Children
- Delay giving kids phones and social accounts until maturity; enforce strict limits early.
- Model digital boundaries so children learn to choose to avoid social media later.
