Are you a person who has a double lives. Full time active online and inactive in offline. So what’s the solution for this. You might have heard about Dopamine.
Every time we get a notification from our phone, we get an instant increase of dopamine, motivating us to check and stay on our phone for longer than we probably wanted to. The extreme of this motivation can be shown through what scientists are calling “phantom text syndrome,” where a ringtone or alert is heard/felt by the user even when there isn’t one[3]. The brain wants you to check your phone, so it creates a reason through phantom texts. This phenomenon can be compared to cravings (and even to addiction). Although social media creates a platform for knowledge, creativity, and connection, we should be mindful of the time spent on it and how the reward system keeps us scrolling.
