start calling them "slot machine videos" and you'll slowly start to feel more self aware whenever you mindlessly scroll them.

do this for yourself only, dont be "that guy" and use that term with people around you and be annoying.

but it helps me a lot, that and ofc app blockers/timers.

since the slot machine method is the proven way for how/why its addictive to mindlessly scroll and get a lil dopamine kick of "I wonder what i'll get next when I flick my finger one more time?"

once you use that ugly term you'll feel a little more like a lab rat and want to stop earlier than before (I hope)

having to make up a name to privately shame yourself instead of just putting the phone down is crazy

my nigga got screen lock timers on his s*** too like he a child

all it takes is one more to win big

Buddy is in too deep he don't even know it

Alright, let’s see that screen time screenshot

so pretend you're wasting money like an idiot everytime i scroll?

i mean in a way, the concept of money is very much similar with time itself, we can't buy back the time we've wasted doomscrolling so i see wym

Yes the idea of eating the lotus can be all consuming if not mindful of how you allocate time

tbh though short form content isn’t even that appealing to people who already have hyper fixated on certain niche know what to look for they’ll just find better resources anyway

Holy s*** you're not even wrong

The lady who wrote the book on this calls that comparison kind of glib and uninteresting

where is ktt

Actually the same lol

8 hours holy s***.

I use my phone for work, texting and for reading, look the details lol. and YouTube for the kiddos

limited to my laptop while working on music, keeps the screen time productive

im gonna do this tbh.

the problem with ktt is my brain is probably anticipating a notification/response more than the standard slot machine scroll + surprise.

it's like when you post an IG story and refresh the views and likes. laptop only sounds perfect

When did you first let kids see screens?

you sound like you live under a rock.

millions of users have "Stay Focused" or "AppBlock"

the "how to stay off my phone" is a very adult oriented issue worldwide.

nothing feels better than checking IG randomly mid guitar sesh and seeing "will unlock in 2 hours" and i put it down... its just an impulse check...nothing more, and the app reminds me to not even bother
