Has this happened to you? You pick up the phone to do something (say add a reminder for something or call someone or check for some item on Amazon) but after a couple of minutes you find yourself on WhatsApp, YouTube, Instagram or Twitter and not remembering the original purpose for which you picked up the phone. The problem is that we lose so much time(mindless scrolling) and mental energy(trying to remember what we forgot).
Deconsolidate or do the easier thing
