Five years ago, I used social media to stay in touch with friends. But in recent years, I found myself endlessly losing chunks of my day to scrolling instead.
I'd reach for my phone without thinking, the second I felt bored. I wasn't connecting with people the way I used to. I wasn't having as many new experiences or seriously pursuing my goals. I was just... watching other people live.
I tried everything. App blockers. Screen time limits. Deleting apps entirely. They helped for a day or two, but they didn't solve the real problem: I still always had the urge to scroll. So I'd always redownload the app, feeling like I'd never really stop.
Here's the thing: I'm not anti-phone. Phones are incredible tools. They connect us, help us learn, make everyday tasks easier. But I was mostly using mine for scrolling.
I couldn't find a method that actually taught me how to rewire the habit. How to eliminate the urge itself, not just block access. So I worked with neuroscientists and behavioral psychologists for almost a year straight to learn how habits form and how to break them at the root.
I've gone almost a year without scrolling, and life has never felt this good.
I built The Stop Scrolling Journey because I needed it. Maybe you do too.
