Tab-Hopping Frenzy
Endless switching between tabs isn’t productivity. It’s compulsion that fractures attention.

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?
