It's 5:07 PM. You just walked in. Your kid ran to the door. You said "Hey buddy," but you were already reaching into your pocket to check a notification.
You sit at the dinner table. You hear her talking, but you're not listening. The loops are still running.
You are a Ghost Dad. You are in the room, but your attention is 30 miles away at the office. Motivation is for amateurs. Willpower will not fix this. You need a system.
