In Katie's words
Why I do this
This is one of the biggest topics of our time, yet there seems to be very little practical support for adults or young people alike. Keeping up with the research is much of my working life. I want to put what I am learning into the hands of the people who need it and can use it.
I feel the pull of the scroll too. So I built The Attention Experiment as a simple, body-led, evidence-informed experiment that anyone can use, including me. No one wants another screen-time lecture. What helps is the sequence itself, Scroll · Loop · Notice · Choose, and an invitation to notice when you're in a Scroll Loop.
