He Opened His Phone for 5 Minutes… Then It Was 2:47 AM
He planned to check his phone for five minutes.
Hours later, his work was untouched and the clock read 2:47 AM.
That's what makes endless scrolling so easy to underestimate.
You rarely decide:
“I'll waste the next three hours.”
You decide:
“Just another minute.”
A practical solution is surprisingly simple:
Put the phone somewhere you cannot reach without standing up.
That tiny bit of friction can interrupt the automatic habit.
Have you ever lost an entire evening this way?
