Stop Scrolling, Start Living: Reclaiming Your Focus in a Distracted World

In our modern lifestyle, which we all are living today, Technology has surely taken up a lot of space in it because it has slowly integrated itself into almost every action that people form throughout the day, and regardless of how much we think it is taking up in our life, everything will day. Still, it's surely influencing quite a lot. While being involved with technology, we are becoming accustomed to numerous habits that are inherent to tech itself, which we are not even keeping track of. This is something that is also contributing to a cell world if bits that are not beneficial to us

There are a lot of habits which we have developed just because of the existence of technology in our life and many of them are something that are not so useful for us and also is a factor that is killing or productivity and also affecting a lot of other things in our life as well which we don't even really think about in that particular way that much which is something that we should be paying a lot of attention to.

Once acha habit which I am also guilty of having and is also something that I always want to be avoiding and try to break it completely which is a digital habit that I have built over the years is about mindless scrolling on my screen itself which is something that is surely I think that a lot of people suffer from. It's really might sound very harmless, but it can also completely grab our attention and make us so unproductive. Being involved in it is something that we should be thinking about quite a lot, because we lose our focus just because of it.

The worst part about endless scrolling is about the fact that we don't even know when it is starting and ly do it very innocently when we are trying to check something on our phones that can be for checking social media or even looking up for a simple news article that we wanted to read and then we just starts scrolling and the endless content is been federed to as which yearly can turn into a very big time that we lost just for scrolling.

This habit has also made us very much addicted to our phones as well because whenever we get a free second we try to Grab or phone and just scroll something even if we didn't required to do it and that is something that has been done by technology itself which has affected a squit a lot as the grab our attention in such a subtle manner that we don't even notice.

This is something that is known by everything will company around the world as well and that is what they try to designed their applications and platforms in the same manners well so that they can be grabbing or attention to the maximum extend and also can exploited this particular activity by us which is something that they have been quite successful ine doing as well because all of the algorithm that are been made is something that is kept ine mind about this particular aspect which is utilise quit a lot.

The psychology behind this endless scrolling is the fact that our brain hits a certain point of dopamine every time we are noticing something interesting on our screen and this is something which is being served by the endless scrolling as well and one after another we just keep on doing it and the endless hit of dopamine in our brain just keeps us stuck in this loop which is surely something that makes us addicted to this process.

Well involved in mindless crawling we face a lot of problems because of it as one of the prime examples is going to be the fat that our attention span gets completely impacted because of out this habit as even if we are trying to focus on something else we can't do it for much longer because our attention spent has been killed because of endless scrolling and apart from this one of the other things that also gets affected quite a lot is differently going to be over healthy sleep as the fact that we are attached to the screen for so long we don't really have that mental ability to be having that particular bit of rest and we always feel that we are tired.

And the biggest impact that it has is on productivity itself because it can shatter the amount of productive nature that any human being can have. After all, the continuous scrolling that we do on different platforms is something that surely is going to be keeping us attached to do it over and over again and that slowly turns into an addiction which we can't get away from and whenever we get a little bit of free time we try to do it and that is going to be making as lose our focus which is also very hard to rebuild from that particular session of scrolling.

In the end it is hard to stay away from and also completely quit as we all are guilty of having this particular digital habit and almost everyone of us is looking for a way which can be used to completely get away from it but it is not so easy and this mindless scrolling takes away a lot from us rather than the illusion of the things that it offers to us and that is something which we need to understand and also try to implement difficult steps that are going to be helpful to stay away from all of this.
