Have you wondered your brain is turning into mush? Welcome to 2 minutes of brain rot. What exactly is brain rot and how is it affecting your ability to focus? Imagine it's a Monday evening, you get back from college, you are motivated, sharp and want to get ahead of everyone else. You sit down to study and the phone beeps.
It's 6.54 pm, I will watch a few reels and study from 7. Boom! The next thing you know, it's 2 in the morning. It hits you, your books are untouched, you haven't studied, you miss the missed timings and instead of being ahead of everyone else, you are way way behind schedule.
Well, your brain is rotting. Brain rot isn't some nasty mental illness but it sure is feeding your procrastination, your addiction, your workflow and most importantly your attention span. Your attention span isn't just shrinking, it's being systematically destroyed by brain rot.
So, what do you most likely consume during this This endless doomscall is nothing but cat reels, prank videos and a bunch of shit that isn't adding any value to your life. You sit down with food and you're looking for something to watch. You keep scrolling Netflix.
You're not touching your food because you wanna watch something while you eat. But you can't settle on a choice. You're not eating. You're not watching.
You're not eating. You're not watching. Pause.
Take a step back. Think. What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you so dependent on some foreign application that is hindering your basic lunch? Think.
What the fuck is this compulsion and where is it coming from? How do you avoid it? Well, unsubscribe, unfollow, click on the not interested option, spend time offline, talk to people, go out for a fucking walk, breathe in and loudly yell, fuck this shit.
