This article resonated with me because I'm addicted to my phone. I don't use TikTok, but I do find myself checking email, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Google News perpetually. I believe it has made me more nervous, anxious, and disconnected. Like you said, I struggle to sit down and read a book. I can only focus on short articles (hence, the articles I write are 3- to 4-minute reads).
