Attention to all attention, reward and social connection units!
We observe a pattern of compulsive social media use: endless scrolling, difficulty stopping, painful comparison with others, fear of missing out. Our mission is to return attention to the organism and its real life.

Situation Overview

• Triggers: boredom, loneliness, anxiety, uncomfortable pauses.
• Behaviour: frequent checking "for a second", losing track of time, switching to the phone at any emotional discomfort.
• Consequences: fragmented focus, worse sleep, lower mood and self-esteem, neglect of offline activities.

Mission Objectives

1. Make the pattern visible

   • Track for several days when and why you reach for the phone.
   • Notice what you feel before opening the app: anxiety, emptiness, fatigue, habit.

2. Install simple physical limits

   • Remove the most addictive apps from the first screen or from the phone entirely.
   • Turn off non‑essential notifications.
   • Keep the phone out of the bedroom at night.

3. Return value to offline experience

   • Plan in advance what will fill the time freed from scrolling: встречи, книги, движение, творчество.
   • Mark in the evening not how many hours you spent online, but what живое случилось вне экрана.

4. Work with comparison and FOMO

   • Remember that feeds show edited fragments, not whole lives.
   • Reduce time subscribed to accounts that provoke envy and self‑hatred; add those that поддерживают и вдохновляют.

5. Seek help if loss of control is strong

   • If attempts to limit use fail, mood is sharply worse without access, or work/study suffer, discuss this with a specialist.
   • Treat it not as "shameful weakness", but as work with a behavioural addiction.

The goal is not to abandon all technology, but to return the steering wheel to the organism. Social media can remain a tool — but not at the cost of sleep, relationships and self-respect.
