How a £54 plastic puck cured my phone addiction and saved my novel
A personal essay exploring phone addiction and the Brick, a $59 physical device that locks distracting apps using NFC technology. The author describes their daily cycle of scrolling through X, TikTok and other apps, unable to focus on their novel due July 31st, and how the Brick created the necessary friction to break the addiction cycle by requiring a physical trip to a plastic puck to unlock apps.
