The 2-Minute Reset: From Mindless Scrolling to Energy Building

If you're drowning in back-to-back meetings with only tiny slivers of time in between, you're not alone. Most of us instinctively reach for our phones during these micromoments, scrolling social media or scanning emails we don't even have time to respond to. But what feels like a harmless habit is actually draining your energy and focus through a psychological phenomenon called "attention residue", the mental clutter that clouds your thinking when your brain jumps from task to task without fully letting go.

In this episode, Rebecca shares three science-backed micro-habits you can use instead of scrolling during those 2-5 minute breaks between meetings. Each technique takes less than two minutes but can dramatically shift how grounded, alert, and in control you feel for the rest of your day. From nervous system resets to sensory grounding exercises, these simple practices will help you reclaim your mental energy and build the habit of being intentional with your most precious resource: time.
