Resistance 101
Hi fellow de-screener (alternative names welcome),
Get on well with our actions from week 1?
ATTENTION THIEVERY FACT OF THE WEEK: At minimum US wage, the amount of attention that you LOSE over a lifetime is worth $1,000,000.
Something for this week:
Phone out of reach = more time to resist when feeling the screen itch:
Charge your phone in a hallway / away from your bedroom
When working, keep phone in coat pocket. On coat rack. At the edge of your field of hearing. (basically far but not too far)
MAX DAMAGE COMBO MOVE: Map out the website/app loops you regularly go down.
Will talk about link breaking next week
If you’re feeling a bit more adventurous - here’s a super simple phone hack:
Turn your display to grayscale
Turn off notifications (and set exceptions for important stuff)
Get rid of giphy’s (hours lost looking for the right gif response)
Careful not to geek out on how and why we’re addicted to screens. Know your opponent - the attention stealers. They want you to only consume, more of them more of their funders…. Act to overcome them.
You got this - keep up the fight

Here’s a nice meme to remind you why we resist
