I picked up my phone 3 times while trying to read one page
Not exaggerating. One page. I'd get a few lines in, put the book down, pick up my phone, realize I had no reason to, put it back, and repeat.
I've known my attention span is bad but seeing it happen in real time was kind of embarrassing.
I started timing myself just out of curiosity. like, how long can I actually go? Turns out the answer was pretty depressing at first. We're talking 4, 5 minutes before I'd unconsciously reach for it.
The number going up over time is the only thing that's actually motivated me to keep trying.
Anyone else been tracking this? Would love to know if I'm alone in the 4-minute club.
