IS THIS YOU?

You open your phone to check one thing—and 42 minutes later, you're deep in a comment thread about something you didn’t even care about an hour ago.

Relatable?

We are living in a world designed to hijack our attention—and for neurodivergent, high-functioning women? It’s a perfect storm. Our minds already move fast, crave novelty, and go deep. Social media knows this—and it exploits it.

And let’s be honest: logging out isn’t always an option when your business, your community, or your creativity lives online.

So how do we reclaim our attention without burning it all down?

We stop playing their game.

We get strategic.

And we build rituals that work with our brains, not against them.

Here are a few practices I’ve used (and that my clients love) to reclaim mental space in a scroll-happy, dopamine-saturated world:

1. Take the app off your phone.
This is the hardest one—but also the most powerful. If social media is part of your work, make it work-friendly. Use it from your laptop during set hours. Not when you're in bed, or in line, or in emotional avoidance mode.

2. Turn off notifications.
Your attention is sacred. Don't let a red dot dictate your energy. Check messages on your terms. Re-train your nervous system to tolerate the discomfort of not being “on call.”

3. Curate your space.
Tools like FB Purity (for Chrome) can help you strip the noise. Hide reels, remove trending topics, mute triggers. Make your feed serve you—not the algorithm.

4. Give your brain new snacks.
So many of us scroll because we’re hungry—for stimulation, for novelty, for connection. Try swapping one scroll session with something else that gives you dopamine and depth: a poetry book, a logic puzzle, even just staring at the ceiling while a playlist plays. Your mind needs silence to process.

5. Schedule your scrolls.
Instead of resisting social media entirely, schedule when you will check it. Give yourself full permission—but within boundaries. You’re not a robot. You’re a strategist.

Here’s the truth: social platforms are engineered to keep you hooked, fragmented, and overwhelmed—because your attention is profitable.

But for the Sigma woman—whose mind is a livewire of brilliance and innovation—that distraction is costly.

You have visions to ground. Content to create. A mission to move.

Let’s not waste your genius on hamster wheels and highlight reels.

You deserve a relationship with technology that amplifies your voice—not siphons your energy.

And if you’re craving a space where that kind of recalibration is the norm?
