Attention Reset Skill
Attention didn't get weak — it got outbid. Apps engineered by thousands of people compete for it against your unread book, and the book was never going to win on willpower. So this protocol doesn't use willpower: it uses friction — making the scroll slightly harder and the alternative slightly easier — plus honest accounting, planned relapses (day 3 and day 12 are coming; a plan that pretends otherwise is a plan for shame), and the missing piece in every detox thread: you can't delete a habit, only replace it, so the replacement gets designed with the same care as the deletions. Bennett wrote the original time audit in 1908; this is the sequel his readers didn't need yet — [[bennett-time-audit]] assumed your evening was empty; your phone disagrees.
