Tab-Hopping Frenzy

Endless switching between tabs isn’t productivity. It’s compulsion that fractures attention.

Lived Proof Compulsion Focus

Metaphorical Narrative

One tab. Another. Another.
The mind tells itself it’s being efficient, but presence scatters into fragments.
By the tenth switch, no task is whole.

Core Insight

Everyone has lived this: tab frenzy feels like multitasking, but it’s attention collapse.

Proof Snapshot: Neuroscience shows every task switch costs cognitive fuel and raises stress hormones. What feels like control is actually depletion.

The cut is simple: one slot, one task. All else exiled until the slot is free.

Identity Line: I exile frenzy. Observer gives one slot to one task.

Saturday Experiment

Today, choose one task.
Close every other tab until it’s done.

Sunday Reflection

Where else this week did they scatter presence?
What happened when they exiled frenzy?
What identity strengthens when one slot rules?
