Reactive Scroll Break Trap
The reactive scroll break trap swaps a focus dip for short-video feeds that stimulate without recovering—eyes tire and the next block starts more fragmented.
The reactive scroll break trap is reaching for short-video or social feeds the moment focus dips—stimulation without recovery, leaving eyes tired and attention more fragmented. Trap breaks feel like rest but maintain vigilance and feed residue into the next block.
Replace with a written menu of three non-screen options. Notice trap patterns on meeting-heavy afternoons.
