When was the last time you did nothing?

Not “watching Netflix.” Not “listening to a podcast.” Not “scrolling while waiting for the kettle to boil.”

I mean absolutely nothing. Just you and your own mortality, staring at a black screen.

The Attention Economy

Your attention is being harvested. Every app on your phone is engineered by teams of PhDs to keep you addicted. They have hacked your dopamine receptors to ensure you can never be bored again.

This is a disaster for your brain.

Greatness requires depth. It requires the ability to hold a single thought for hours without reaching for a distraction. But most of us have trained our brains to panic if we aren’t stimulated every 15 seconds.

The Void Protocol

We built The Void to test your cognitive discipline. It is a “negative tool.” It doesn’t help you do more; it forces you to do less.

The rules are simple:

• The Timer: 10 Minutes.
• The Rule: If you move your mouse, you fail. If you switch tabs, you fail. If you touch your phone, you fail (on the honor system).
• The Goal: Just exist.

It sounds easy. It isn’t. The first 2 minutes are fine. By minute 4, your brain will start itching. You will remember an email you need to send. You will want to check the weather. You will feel the physical urge to click something.

Resist it.

That urge is your addiction leaving the body. If you can’t control your attention for 10 minutes, you don’t own your life—the algorithm does.
