A short spoken tip by Nir Eyal about designing an ideal weekend afternoon by time-boxing activities to align with personal values—self-care, relationships, and work—to increase a sense of agency and control over attention. Encourages starting small and treating attention as a skill to be cultivated.

What would the perfect weekend afternoon look like? Time. Box that time according to your values, asking yourself, how would I spend time taking care of myself? How would I spend time in relationships that are important to me? How would I spend time doing work, whether that's working professionally or maybe community service? What would that look like for your ideal weekend afternoon? And just start small. What you'll find is that that feeling of agency and autonomy, that ability that you have to control your attention, becomes something that you'll want more of.
