boredom isn’t the problem. scrolling is.

if you feel bored and your thumb goes straight to tiktok, pause.

this is your reminder that boredom is a cue, not a flaw. try a quick dopamine detox moment: put the phone down for 60 seconds, breathe, then do one tiny task (or pick an analog hobby) so your focus and creativity can come back online.

save this for the next time you catch yourself doomscrolling and want a screen time reset.
