Now, if you'll excuse me, my phone is buzzing. A notification says a streamer I like is going live.

I don't watch anything "serious" within 30 minutes of studying. If I do, my brain keeps analyzing the plot instead of the periodic table. I listen to classical music or brown noise instead.

I don't want to stop watching entertainment. I just want to watch it because I choose to, not because an algorithm autoplayed me into a coma.

I admit I watch lectures while scrolling Reddit. But I’m trying to reverse it. Now, when I watch a movie, I put my phone in the other room. Watching one thing deeply is more satisfying than watching three things poorly.
