I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest tool or your greatest trap.
I will sharpen your focus or scatter your mind.
I am completely at your command.

Half of the time you reach for me,
you do so without thinking—
but guide me with intention, and I will serve you well.
Let me lead, unchecked, and I will steal your time.

I am the force behind deep work and distraction,
the key to both creativity and mindless scrolling.
Those who use me wisely, I have empowered.
Those who ignore my power, I have consumed.

I am not a screen, though I shape your time with it.
I work with the precision of an algorithm
but with the control of your choices.

You may use me for growth or for endless distraction—
it makes no difference to me.
Take me, train me, be firm with me,
and I will open doors of knowledge and connection.
Let me run wild, and I will steal your days.

Who am I?
I am your Digital Habit.
