Have you ever picked up your phone to check one notification...only to realize an hour has disappeared?
In this episode of Rooted & Rising, Dr. Carmela Maxell explores the hidden psychology behind doomscrolling and why endless scrolling affects more than just your screen time—it can quietly influence your creativity, motivation, decision-making, and even your ability to pursue the life you truly want.
Together, we'll unpack concepts like the Zeigarnik Effect, decision fatigue, the psychology of infinite scrolling, and why watching productive people can trick our brains into feeling productive ourselves. More importantly, we'll discuss practical strategies to break the cycle, reclaim your attention, and start investing your time in building your own dreams instead of endlessly consuming someone else's.
If you've ever felt mentally exhausted after scrolling, struggled to focus on your own goals, or wondered where your creativity has gone, this conversation is for you.
It's time to stop doomscrolling your dreams...and start living them.
