Define “brainrot?” Are you talking in an individual, culturally, as a media genre? It’s a vague term and your idea of it may not match the commenters’ here.
You can improve your attention span. It just takes putting effort into it.
Some things that will help:
- Stop watching short-form content. Ban yourself from Instagram, Tiktok, and Shorts/Reels on any site.
- Drop off social media as much as possible - check it once a day, for a max of 15 minutes.
- Start reading a book for at least 1 hour at least 3 times a week.
- Read at least one non-fiction book for every 3 fiction books you read.
- Pick up a hobby that requires dedicated focus and practice. Spend your free time doing that instead of doomscrolling.
- Spend 30 minutes a week in a quiet space, meditating.
Everything on this list is great advice, but non fiction books make me want to kill myself. I’ve found one tolerable non fiction. God help me if I ever have to read a biography or self help book again.
non fiction books make me want to kill myself
I usually feel the same. A few notable exceptions I have found:
- [Salt: A World History)] (https://www.markkurlansky.com/books/salt-a-world-history/) - the history of salt is way more interesting than you would think.
- [The Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mother_Tongue) - English is a damn weird language.
- [A People’s History of the United States] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_People’s_History_of_the_United_States) - a much more accurate and honest history than the whitewashed version that public schools teach.
There are more non fiction genres than biographies and self-help
Yes, but those are my two least favorite.
Check out Bill Brysons books, they’re great and funny! You could start with A Short History Of Nearly Everything.
