About Break the Twitch

I’m a writer, filmmaker, and creator in my mid-30’s, currently living in Phoenix, Arizona with my wife, Amy. But that picture above is from my time in Minnesota (Brrr.)

Here at Break the Twitch I share my everything I’ve learned (and what I continue to learn) about owning our attention and building better habits—that’s what it’s really all about.

The Twitch is an impulsive, unproductive response to discomfort. It might be checking your smartphone, buying something online, or mindlessly scrolling through social media. It shows up in lots of ways, many which might not seem problematic, but when they add up, day after day, that’s when things get bad.

Years ago, I got tired of one-click purchases, smartphone notifications, and other distractions constantly pulling me away from what really mattered to me. I knew I was struggling to focus on being fully present in my life and showing up to do my best work.

I started researching, experimenting, and documenting ways to minimize distractions, build better habits, and tap into that elusive ‘flow’—that place where productivity is highest, and time seems to fly by without realizing it. I’ve learned a lot, and still have a lot to learn. I’d love to have you join me in continuously learning how to better own our attention and build better habits.
