Frequently Asked Questions
I keep getting "pulled" toward my phone even when I don't want to. Why?
You are feeling "The Quiet Pull Toward Distraction." Distraction isn't just "noise"; it’s an "Attention Magnet" for a stressed brain. In the Meaning Density Model™, your Reward system is craving a "Low-Density Win" (like a notification) to offset the "High-Density Stress" of your work. Attention is "Drawn" toward the easiest source of "Meaning." Recognizing this pull "without judgment" allows you to see the "Need" behind the distraction.
How do I resist the "quiet pull" without feeling drained?
Don't "Resist"; "Anchor." Instead of fighting the pull of the phone, "Weight" your attention in your body (feel your feet, your breath). This increases your "Internal Gravity." DojoWell teaches that "Distraction" wins when your "Meaning" is too thin. By "Thickening" your current moment with sensory awareness, you make the "Pull" of the distraction feel "Weak" and "Irrelevant" in comparison to the "Reality" of your own presence.
