Doomscrolling—the act of continuously scrolling through bad news even though it's disheartening—has become a modern epidemic. Here's how to stop.
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?
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.
Intentionality prompts can help. When you're forced to type out *why* you're visiting a site, the automatic dopamine loop is interrupted.
Establish areas in your home where digital devices aren't allowed, such as the bedroom or the dinner table.
Regaining control over your attention is a journey. Start small and use tools like Intentionality to support your progress.
