I don’t think my brain is supposed to consume this much content every single day. This cheap form of dopamine actually leading me into my doom.
Reels during food. Reels before sleep. Random scrolling after waking up. Music, notifications, memes, YouTube, background noise constantly. Somewhere in between all that, my attention span quietly disappeared.
Lately I’ve felt mentally scattered all the time. Can’t sit with one thought. Can’t focus properly. Even rest doesn’t feel like rest anymore.
So I’m trying something for the next 21 days.
No Instagram. No doomscrolling. No mindless content loops. Reducing unnecessary screen time and trying to reset my brain a little. Call it a dopamine reset, neurodivergent reset, mental detox whatever fits.
Starting tonight. Day 1.
Not expecting some movie transformation. Just want to see who I am without constant stimulation for 3 weeks.
I’ll come back here on Day 21 or 22 and post the actual results.
