Digital Well-being Guide

Break the Doomscrolling Cycle

Doomscrolling—the act of continuously scrolling through bad news even though it's disheartening—has become a modern epidemic. Here's how to stop.

11. Acknowledge the Habit

The first step to breaking any habit is awareness. Notice when you're scrolling without a purpose. Are you looking for information, or just filling a void?

22. Set Intentions Before Browsing

Before you open a browser or app, ask yourself: 'What is my goal?' Being intentional helps you stay on track and avoid falling into rabbit holes.

33. Use Tools for Reflection

Intentionality prompts can help. When you're forced to type out *why* you're visiting a site, the automatic dopamine loop is interrupted.

44. Create 'No-Phone' Zones

Establish areas in your home where digital devices aren't allowed, such as the bedroom or the dinner table.

Conclusion

Regaining control over your attention is a journey. Start small and use tools like Intentionality to support your progress.
