Why You Keep Scrolling (Even When It’s Not Fun)

You open your phone to check one thing. Twenty minutes later, you're still scrolling—and you're not even enjoying it. This video explores dopamine, the difference between wanting and enjoying, and why endless feeds make it so easy to keep going. We also separate what the research suggests from what it can't prove. Then we walk through four practical steps to make stopping easier: add friction, set a clear ending, replace the scrolling break, and practice a few minutes without a screen. Start with just one step this week. What's the one app you wish you used less? Let me know in the comments. Subscribe for more practical ways to focus and build better everyday habits.
