Guides to reclaim attention without quitting social media
Short, practical articles drawn from the book’s framing: direct answers first, research where it helps, and steps you can try on ordinary days.
- How to stop doomscrolling without quitting social media
A practical sequence: observe first, then redesign the doors back into the feed.
- Why can't I stop scrolling?
The screen is not waiting passively. Habit, uncertainty, and an endless surface do the work.
- How to reduce screen time without quitting social media
Lower totals follow clearer purpose. Treat minutes as a clue, not a moral score.
- Does a digital detox work?
Short breaks help; lasting change looks more like a diet than a purge.
- Social media addiction versus problematic use

- What does brain rot mean?
A popular name for a familiar feeling—not a medical claim about rotting tissue.
- Social media and attention
Attention is finite. Feeds compete with sleep, work, books, and unfinished thoughts.
- How social media algorithms hold attention

- Notifications and attention
Fifteen seconds to read a message; longer to recover the thought you left.
- A 30-day social media reset
Thirty days in four stages—starting with observation, not a dramatic purge.
