Get your attention back with a 30-day protocol that assumes you'll break it — a screen-time ledger without moralizing, friction engineering (what to delete, grayscale, where the phone sleeps), planned relapses, and honest replacement activities for the boredom that shows up on day 3. Use when someone says 'my screen time is 7 hours', 'I want a dumbphone', 'digital detox', 'I can't read books anymore', or 'my attention span is gone'. Produces the ledger, a personal friction plan, and the 30-day protocol with expected failure points.

From the source SKILL.md

Attention didn't get weak — it got outbid. Apps engineered by thousands of people compete for it against your unread book, and the book was never going to win on willpower. So this protocol doesn't use willpower: it uses friction — making the scroll slightly harder and the alternative slightly easier — plus honest accounting, planned relapses (day 3 and day 12 are coming; a plan that pretends otherwise is a plan for shame), and the missing piece in every detox thread: you can't delete a habit, only replace it, so the replacement gets designed with the same care as the deletions.
