Get a safe with a timer. Lock your phone in it and set the timer for the length of the film. Close the safe when you hit play
>>217346584Just put your phone down. It's not that hard.
>>217346634how old are you?
>>217346635What if there is an emergency while watching the movie and I need to use my phone?
>>21734665826I got hooked on short form content at my job.... just procrastinating w it in slow periods
>>217346668There wont be. And if there is you can run outside and ask your neighbors to use theirs. People got along just fine before cellphones were even a thing. The phone was a thing that sat on the table and you didn't pick up the receiver unless you were going to call someone or it rang. Constantly checking your phone is a learned behavior. You've trained yourself to do it. You can train yourself to stop doing it. Shut it off and don't turn it back on again for 2 hours while you watch the movie. The "world" inside your phone will still be there when you're done, and if anything you'll have 2 hours of potentially new stuff to doomscroll through. Take a 2 hour break from always being connected and enjoy a story
>>217346756>Take a 2 hour break from always being connected and enjoy a storyTbh I found that line inspirational I'll try
Just leave your phone in another room and watch good films
I can’t watch a movie/show without falling asleep. I literally sit on an uncomfortable dining room chair infront of the tv, just to stay awake and when I really want to watch something. Its over for me
>>217346634>>217346696Your issue is you lack concentration BECAUSE you are doing retarded short form dopamine hits of idle bullshit.The solution is to stop doing the bullshit idle nonsense and build your concentration, train it like any skill.I bet if you were in an empty field on your own with no distractions or people you would start crying in 5 minutes.
>>217346634All those things are designed to cause addiction to content in people. It's actually pretty unhealthy to have a stream of mostly useless information going into your head 24/7. You gotta put down that phone and conquer your own brain. Yeah the first days you'll struggle and feel like an addict quitting cold turkey, but after a week or so your mind will adapt and after a month you won't even remember those feeds from your phone. I know because that's how I felt when my phone broke for 2 months until I had it fixed. If you need it for work, you can still put it away.
>>217346696No, you got hooked on it because your parents are failures and passed it onto you.
>>217346584>PHONE
>>217346848You have sleep apnea and your sleep quality is garbage. Get a CPAP machine and lose some weight.
>>217346584Throw away your phone
>>217346649thisJust watch the movie...
>>217346658Lmao shit’s fucked. Even boomers I know who would always have the 24/7 live news on in the background now scroll through shit instead for hours
>>217346848Life of a wagie
>>217346584You have to make watching movies distraction free by putting all that shit in another room. This is a strategy to unfuck your focus and dopamine.
>>217346668>b-b-but what if-Its not. It won't.
>>217346873Someone is going to make a killing on digital detox centers in the not too distant future.
