If you mindlessly scroll and procrastinate but want to change, here's why it will get worse and a solution, but carry on scrolling if you don't care. Every time you scroll, you are effectively training your brain to get smarter and better at this task. Any ability to take action is being muted. You are embedding this habit. It's like slowly digging a hole and standing in that hole as you dig. At some point you can no longer just step out. It's going to require a serious behavioral change that watching a motivation video won't fix. So what can you do? You have to make a decision. Do you really want to change and stop doing it? Why is it important? There is no quick fix. You are going to have to commit and try with everything you've got and take action on it.
