Your focus used to be free. Now it’s a commodity with surge pricing (ha, just like all the AI tools now).
Every ping, scroll, and quick check is a microtransaction in a market you didn’t agree to join (and certainly didn't read the fine print).
You’re trading your time for dopamine stock that never pays dividends (at least not to you).
If this were the 90s, your brain would be hoarding Beanie Babies and calling it an investment….and how’d that work out?
AI can’t fix the economy of attention, but it may be able to help you audit the mess…if you learn how.
Let it block, mute, and batch the noise.
Think of it as your accountant for mental bandwidth, just minus the spreadsheets and existential dread of opening QuickBooks and finding it changed once again.
Focus is finite. Spend yours like it matters.
