Enemy Intel

The Trap.

01

Variable Rewards

Like a slot machine, the feed is unpredictable. You pull to refresh, hoping for a "win" (a like, a message, a funny video). The uncertainty releases 400% more dopamine than a guaranteed reward.

02

Stopping Cues

In the real world, books end, plays finish, the sun sets. The internet has no bottom. Infinite scroll removes "stopping cues," keeping you in a zombie state of consumption.

03

Social Reciprocity

The "read receipt" and "typing bubbles" are designed to create anxiety. They hijack your innate evolutionary drive to not be ostracized by the tribe.

The
Exit Protocol

Phase 1
Physical
Severance

The phone must not sleep where you sleep.

  • [ ] Buy a dedicated alarm clock (Braun or similar).
  • [ ] Create a charging station in the kitchen/hallway.
  • [ ] If you need it for "emergencies", get a landline.
Phase 2
Visual
Neutering

Make the device a tool, not a toy.

  • [ ] Enable Grayscale Mode (Accessibilty Settings).
  • [ ] Delete social apps. Use browser versions only.
  • [ ] Disable ALL non-human notifications.
Phase 3
Reclaiming
Leisure

Fill the void with high-quality analog activities.

  • [ ] Carry a physical book everywhere.
  • [ ] Commit to one weekly activity with zero phone presence.
  • [ ] Observe the world. Be bored. Boredom is the precursor to creativity.

Grayscale

Color is data. Remove the data, remove the desire.

The Foyer

The phone lives by the door. It is a guest in your home, not a resident.

The 10-Min Rule

Urge to scroll? Wait 10 minutes. The craving is a wave; surf it.

Phone Stacking

At dinner, stack phones. First to touch pays the bill.

Analog Navigation

Try getting lost. Use a paper map. Engage your spatial brain.
