The Shrinking of Focus

what stopping us from doing what we want, learning what we interested, working on what we love? in this era, aside from factors we cant control, I think its a person's ability to focus.

Its hard to focus when we got what I can describe as the endless dopamine source on a few finger taps, Its by nature is absolutely wonderful, but its the way we are trained to use it that is harming us, making us doom-scrolling and brain-the-f@cking-rot our last drop of grey matter.

How about brainrotting myself?

for me, everytime I open up youtube and click on shorts, my mind literally glue it self on to there, forcing my finger to scroll and my brain to process. When I snap out of it, its already 10 minutes and I lost track of my work.

I have tried many ways to fight it back, but no use, the big corp and I together trained my brain to become junkie monkey, Im the only one to blame, but at the same time the only one who can solve it, so I think: "instead of letting other brainrot me, how about brainrotting myself?". Thats when I decided to create contents as a way to re-wired my smooth-brain so it got at least some wrinkles.

seriously, How?

What to create? what to niche down? how do I do it? when I start thinking about this, I realize, having a perfect to-do plan will definitely make me procastinated and went back to doom-scrolling, so I apply the same formular that made shorts so addictively rewarding, RNG.

Instead of planning it out perfectly down to the last details, I force me to do whatever pop up my mind first, which is this idea that im yapping about. 30 minutes, focus, and most importantly get it done.

I just started doing this a months ago, so idk if it will work in long term or not, I will let time answer me.

Conclusions

• instead of letting other brainrot me, I will brainrot myself with my own contents.
• consume as inspiration to do the above.

since I take interests in what I interested, brainrotting myself would mean that I learn more in my study's areas. So thats a win-win for me :p

thx for reading my scrambled of words, hope this help :>
