relatedly: i feel like people who can ignore the little badges with a number on them (that look like they're saying "you have this many notifications", whether or not they are lies) have actual magic powers. it feels like a law of physics that i click on those if i see them. there's no conscious choice involved.
a big part of why i use actual physical bound paper to manage my life tasks is that no app designer can decide it's profitable to turn it into an attention gauntlet
