About

I’m David Mieksztyn, and here at Return To Eremos you’ll find my writings on the topic of digital distraction and how to improve our focus on what matters most in our lives. I take aim at the problem of why it is we get distracted from good, from truth, from what we are capable of.

Once I started processing the growing volume of literature and research about our distracting technology mediums, I started to see how unfocused I myself had become. Many researchers and scholars were writing candidly about digital fasting, getting off social media websites, ditching the news for books, and attempting to reconnect with people in their lives…in real life.

My aim for this site is to help guide us out of the noise and into the stillness of the metaphorical wilderness, the Greek word ‘eremos,’ where we can engage in our life’s best work together. It’s not just about removal of the distractions, but also the addition of values we find when we live an intentional, undistracted life.
