Are You Ready To Stop Doom Scrolling? There’s An App For That!
Description
It happens to all of us! You're ready to wind down and you grab your phone and start scrolling only to realize it's been an hour!
Sisanie shared on-air some people are turning to the “One Sec” app to help prevent them from doom-scrolling. It forces a quick pause before opening addictive apps like Instagram and TikTok. Literally just a few seconds to breathe, so you don’t fall straight into the scroll.
It breaks that reflex of opening your phone without thinking because half the time, after the pause, you apparently didn’t even want to open Instagram anymore.
The app also shows you how many times you’ve stopped yourself and how much screen time you’ve saved, which can be motivating.
