After downloading TikTok in high school, excessive use led to a deterioration of attention span. In January 2025, the app was deleted due to an impending ban, leading to a conscious effort to reconnect with long-form media. The decision to remove TikTok resulted in increased reading and the ability to watch movies without distractions. A commitment to improving focus was made, which included investing in print subscriptions to enhance media habits further. Rebuilding attention span proved to be a valuable endeavor post-TikTok.
