Pledge

One small commitment. Every day.

The deshort pledge

  • I remove short‑video entry points from my default browsing (Shorts/Reels in listings).
  • I keep intention: if I open a short video, I do it by direct link—on purpose.
  • I protect deep time: I schedule at least 30 minutes a day for focused work/learning without feeds.
  • I model this for kids: we don’t normalize compulsive scrolling as “just entertainment.”

I’m joining the #deshort movement. Short‑form video is engineered to hijack attention. I’m removing Shorts/Reels from listings so scrolling isn’t the default. deshort.com
