We believe time is the most precious resource we have. We support everyone who wants to turn scrolling hours into moments and activities that genuinely improve happiness, focus, and connection to what truly matters
Why Attentive Exists
Each of us has experienced how constant digital stimulation can fragment attention, dilute meaning, and drain energy from our days. We believe technology can support what makes us human, not compete with it.
Only 1 in 5 people manage to reduce usage
3 in 4 adults spend more than 3 hours daily on social media
1 in 5 adults spend more than 7 hours daily on social media
The average adult checks their phone 120–150 times a day
Our Mission
Understanding What’s Happening
Change starts with awareness.
Discover how attention works — and why we get distracted.
Supporting Real Habit Change
Creating rhythms and environments that protect clarity and focus, and help people keep improving, even when things get difficult.
Turning Intention into Lasting Transformation
Building new habits for daily life.
Choosing meaningful actions instead of endless scrolling when we have time for ourselves.
Letting go of constant phone checking and focusing on what truly leaves us satisfied at the end of the day.
Discovering what nourishes us and making it a lasting part of our daily lives: purpose, learning, connection, rest, and creativity.
We call these the Essentials.
Our Approach
The People Behind Attentive

“What guides my work is the desire to help people reconnect — first with themselves, and then with those who matter most — in a time when true connection has become so rare.”
As a designer, conceptual artist, and co-founder of Attentive, Lea brings a rare combination of creativity, clarity, and leadership. She coordinates the Attentive team, translates vision into concrete results, and ensures that the project stays anchored in its mission: helping people reconnect with themselves, with others, and with the world beyond their screens.

Her approach blends strong conceptual thinking, deep empathy, and aesthetic precision — enabling Attentive to communicate clearly, act intentionally, and evolve with purpose.

Through her illustrations and visual language, she gives Attentive its distinctive artistic soul: warm, human, and rooted in the magic of togetherness.

- Turning complex ideas into intuitive, meaningful experiences
- Holding the core vision and guiding the team with calm clarity
