i still get distracted a ton by my phone, but deleting tiktok, blocking instagrams reels w an app and blocking youtube shorts using youtube revanced has helped
i found that watching short form content made my short term attention span worse, though to be fair i do already have adhd. in general its just a bit of a time sink. at least with youtube, the stuff i watch is a tiny bit informative, even if its stupid niche shit that is of no use to me, but i never remembered or found useful anything i watched on tiktok

yeah same i think watching short form content has so significantly decreased my attention span, and it has also decreased my ability to remember things- like do you remember what you even watched 3 shorts or 3 tiktoks ago? its like it has conditioned us to forget things quickly

how did it go
better than I thought so I'll take it. Its not official yet and he said he completely understood, I just need to make sure that I know i'd be putting my eggs in PDHPE/Bio/Business basket, which my school doesn't do too well in. Overall he said he wants whatever is best for me and he and the english teacher will support whatever I decide which was really nice to hear. I haven't cried in years but i actually felt a lump in my throat (although no tears hehe) cos i was so relieved. It was a mixture of relief from the anxiety i had about the conversation, and also just the mental burden that Ext 2 has been. I still havent spoken to my adv teacher (head of english) but ill try and do that soon. He did suggest trying to keep it until our half yearly reports come out (whenever that is) so we can look at my marks / ranking for everything
