Seriously, and the speed limit of 2mph is slower than most people walk.

I noticed this the other day, I get sucked into Instagram reels and spend a lot of time just swiping, before I realize it I'm down a rabbit hole and lost track of time. I've found that when I try to watch a TV episode, even something that is 25ish minutes long I get distracted really easily. Sometimes even fiddling around with Instagram while watching. I'm trying to be more conscious of this but I definitely feel my attention span is getting worse.
