In his post, Kamath succinctly stated, “Attention = time, time, the commodity that defines all other commodities.” Recognizing time as our most valuable resource, Kamath suggested a practical solution: instituting a “device-free” period.
“Crazy to think we control so little and others so much. I’m as manipulated by all this as the next guy/girl. Let’s take some control back, last Sunday of every month no devices? Let’s experience the manipulation of our physical vicinity instead. I can do it if we all do it together,” he wrote.

Kamath’s proposal struck a chord with many, eliciting a wave of supportive comments. One user remarked, “Absolutely, let’s break free from the digital leash and reconnect with our real-world environment. One Sunday a month device-free could be the reset we all need. Who’s in?”
Another user echoed, “Absolutely! Time is our most precious resource, yet often we surrender it to distractions.”
Kamath also recently shared his unconventional views on parenthood, stating that the traditional notion of having children to carry on a legacy does not resonate with him, as he prioritizes his current pursuits over raising a child.
Kamath’s reflections on attention and time underscore a growing awareness of the need to reclaim our focus in an increasingly distracted world.
