Tiktok especially.

The only time I have ever seen Tiktok videos is from dating someone younger and watching them engage with Tiktok over their shoulder out of curiosity.

To me, it felt like my brain was being scrambled. The worst part was I could tell they were addicted to that same feeling.

It is not really fair if a person is addicted to having their brain scrambled while I found the experience absolutely horrendous.

If I engage with Tolstoy/Dostoevsky audiobooks in my free time instead of having my brain scrambled, there is obviously going to be huge carry over to all sorts of other activities. Focusing at work is just one of them.
