The only thing that stopped me from infinite scrolling
And it might do the same for you...
For the longest time, I couldn’t stop scrolling.
I’d delete apps, set time limits, even toss my phone across the room.
And for a while, I’d convince myself it worked.
But sooner or later, I’d end up right back in the loop…
mindlessly scrolling for hours without even realizing it.
Here’s the truth: no timer or app could fix the problem.
Because the problem wasn’t my phone… it was the void I was trying to fill.
What finally worked wasn’t another trick.
It was something way more simple spending time with people.
When you’re actually socializing… laughing, talking, connecting…
you don’t even think about your phone.
You’re reminded that real life feels better than any feed ever could.
So if you’ve been stuck in that endless scroll,
the answer might not be a new app or hack.
It might just be picking up the phone (for its original purpose) and making plans.
Talk soon,
