HOW TO STOP BRAIN ROTTING IN 2025

You're feeding your brain pure junk food – endless scrolls of TikTok, Reels, and Shorts that leave you mentally malnourished but craving more.

Your focus is shot and you've outsourced your thinking to viral takes and algorithm-driven opinions.

Worst of all?

You're terrified of silence, of being alone with your thoughts for even five minutes.

This isn't just bad habits – it's full-blown brain rot

DELETE ONE APP TODAY
Not tomorrow. Not after "one last scroll." Right now. Pick the worst offender and nuke it.
READ 10 PAGES OF A REAL BOOK DAILY
Your brain will resist. Fight through it. Paper books only – no cheating with audiobooks.
SIT IN SILENCE FOR 5 MINUTES EVERY MORNING
No phone, no music, no distractions. Just you and your thoughts. It'll be agony – that's how you know it's working.
CREATE SOMETHING EVERY DAY
Write 100 words. Sketch. Cook. Build. Stop being a consumer and start being a human again.
HAVE ONE REAL CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE WHO DISAGREES WITH YOU
Face-to-face. No screens. Actually listen. Your worldview has become dangerously narrow.

This isn't getting better on its own. Every day you spend glued to that screen, you're losing more of yourself.

The time to fight back is now – before there's nothing left to save
