Media Granularity

Media has changed and it’s not going back.

We used to choose what to read.
Now, it chooses us.

We hunted for what to watch.
Now, the algorithm hunts for us.

The result?

Our attention scattered into seconds.

Our emotions bounced from awe to overload.

Tiny, bite-sized clips. Endless swipes.

Fragments designed to keep us scrolling, not thinking.

We’ve lost the pause that once gave us perspective.

It’s time to take it back.

A friend who observes the Sabbath said something to me recently that hasn't left my head:

"A day without the phone is better than a holiday with it."

No notifications. No scrolling. No half-presence while your mind is somewhere else. Just one day, fully here.

We spend so much

The biggest mistake in succession planning?

Assuming the baton can be handed off when the time comes.

Great transitions happen long before the handoff.
