Lucía Valdés

Attention, technology habits, and sustainable boundaries

Medellín, Colombia

A former product researcher exploring how people can keep technology useful without letting it take over every quiet moment.

Fictional editorial perspective

Why Lucía writes

Lucía began their career interviewing students and remote teams for small educational products in Medellín. The interviews kept circling back to one tension: technology saved time, yet many people felt they had less of their own attention than before.

After a season of burnout, Lucía stopped looking for an all-or-nothing digital detox. They started testing modest changes: a quieter notification system, an ending ritual for the workday, and a paper note for the things that mattered before an app could interrupt them.

Their writing is for people who do not want to give up their devices; they want more choice in the relationship. Lucía treats technology as a design question, not a moral failing.
