The Attention Crisis
"I can't focus for more than 10 minutes."
"I feel restless when I'm not doing something."
"I constantly forget what I was doing."
More and more students are self-diagnosing with ADHD. While genuine attention disorders are real and require medical attention, researchers are finding a rise in "Acquired Attention Deficit" driven by technology.
Your Brain on Algorithms
Apps like TikTok and Instagram are engineered to shorten your attention span. They train your brain to expect a reward (new content) every 15 seconds.
When you switch from TikTok to a Biology textbook, your brain screams. The textbook doesn't offer dopamine hits every 15 seconds. It feels "boring," "painful," and "impossible."
This isn't necessarily ADHD. It's an addiction withdrawal symptom.
The Dopamine Detox
If your lack of focus is driven by screens, the solution is strict detox. You need to re-sensitize your brain to "slow" dopamine (like the satisfaction of solving a hard problem) instead of "fast" dopamine (likes/views).
Why "Willpower" Fails Here
Asking a dopamine-addicted brain to "just ignore" the phone is like placing a bottle of vodka in front of an alcoholic and saying "just don't drink it."
You need Externalized Executive Function.
That's Ace Lock.
The Ace Lock Protocol for Attention Recovery
- 1. The Physical Barrier: Ace Lock acts as the pre-frontal cortex (decision maker) that your tired brain currently lacks.
- 2. The Waiting Period: By enforcing a 60-second delay or total block, we force your brain to sit with the boredom.
- 3. Recovery: As you sit with the boredom, your dopamine receptors start to reset. 10 minutes of study becomes possible. Then 20. Then 50.
Diagnostic Test (Unofficial)
Try using Ace Lock's "Absolute Lock Mode" for 3 days.
- If you feel anxiety and shaking, it's withdrawal.
- If your focus improves drastically after the withdrawal passes, your "ADHD" might have been phone-induced.
*Note: Ace Lock is a tool, not a doctor. Always consult professionals for mental health concerns.*
