Let's reclaim our minds from being hijacked by technology.
people want to change the industry
Time Well Spent is a non-profit movement to reclaim our minds from the race for attention.
Change the Game
Change the advertising model to de-couple how much profit apps make from how much attention they get.
Let's fix the arms race for our attention...
We only have so much attention in our lives.
When more things want it, everyone has to fight harder to get it.
YouTube wants more attention. Autoplay works to get it.
Instagram wants that attention. Likes & followers work to get it.
Facebook wants to keep that attention. Cat videos & outrage work to keep it.
News wants that attention. Sensationalism works to get it.
Politicians want that attention. Fear works to get it.
It's a race to the bottom that is spiraling out of control…
It's not just ruining our attention, it's ruining our minds.
The race for attention makes it harder to solve every other problem.
So we can't wait any longer. We have to fix it, right now.
