The Doomscroll Exit Cards
Ten pre-decided exits from the scroll you never chose to start. One card per trigger, each with the study behind it and one if-then move that puts back the friction the feed removed.
The mechanism inside
Unpredictable rewards are what make a feed hard to leave (Clark and Zack, 2023), so the fix is friction rather than willpower: a randomised ten-nudge trial (Olson et al., 2022) and a pre-registered grayscale field experiment (Zimmermann and Sobolev, 2023).
What you get
- Page one is an instant win you can finish in under a minute, before you write anything
- Ten cards for ten real moments: bored, restless, bedtime, waiting in line, the wake-up scroll, "just checking", the instant re-open, the five-minute break that becomes 25, the autopilot open, the rabbit hole
- Every card names the moment, why the feed wins it, the study and the year, and one if-then exit, with a worked example beside every blank
- Seven US-Letter pages, two half-page cards per sheet with a cut line, prints fine in black and white
- A closing page of honest notes: no trial has tested this deck as a package, only its parts
- Instant download, PDF with selectable text
