We’re hopelessly addicted to our screens

I was sitting alone without my phone and I couldn’t shake off my hankering for hitting the app with a little red button

We’re the product

creating and destroying; flying cars, roc.camera, july.rocks

Had similar thoughts lately.

Almost all apps are made to capture our attentions as much as possible. 

We are often drawn into this “infinite loop” that we fear we could have missed sth important if we don’t check them often.

Instead, all they do is just tear our focus apart from what really matters.

Absolutely.

What I do to resist now is to constantly remind myself two things:
1. Time is the most precious thing we have;
2. What is the one or two things that I really want to make it happen and am I focus enough? If not, fix it immediately.

So much of what I’m forced to check in this infinite loop is… absolutely not important

What am I doing? I find myself asking myself. I’m not feeling defeated- just feel like we can do so much more than this hyper attention hamster flywheel we’ve put ourselves on

I think we want to get off
