Resist Dopamine

From the noiseto the calm.

It took five seconds. You turned it off once. You can do it again.

“I’m very concerned that our society is much more interested in information than wonder, in noise rather than silence. And I feel that we need a lot more wonder and a lot more silence in our lives. How do we encourage reflection?”

Fred Rogers, with Charlie Rose, 1994.

Resisting isa muscle.

The itch to check. The pull just before the scroll. That lever gets pulled all day long, and it works, because wanting is how you’re built.

But a pull is a wave. Hold still for five seconds and it breaks. Every hold is a rep, and every rep makes the next one easier, until the quiet stops being something you visit and starts being where you live.

Once a day,we bait youon purpose.

The Resist is a sixty second round against the interface. Fake texts, red badges, autoplay, one lie about your storage. Touch nothing and you win what the internet never gives you: a quiet minute.

Same round for everyone, new every day.

Its permanent home will be app.resistdopamine.com.

Nothing scrolls here. On purpose.

Hold still anywhere. Five seconds.

Hold to open. Five seconds.
