How do you stop yourself from scrolling brainrot and stay focused on work?
This came to my mind when I read about how the creation of Sora has raised concerns that it could be an AI equivalent of TikTok (critics warning it could fall into the same addictive patterns as other social platforms).
And after several messages with some people, I also noticed how I wasted a lot of time on my desktop instead of doing something productive or learning.
I am a part of a team that is developing a digital detox app, but that's only one of the tools that can help.
What techniques do you use when you want to stop procrastinating online and focus on your work?
For me, only these:
– to go outside, take paper and pen (then rewrite it on the laptop later, no electronics)
– read books (because of the focus, because with brainrots, we are less focused on longer texts)
But I will welcome more ideas :D
