You know that feeling when you sit down to “get work done”… and 10 minutes later you’re scrolling Instagram? These doodles show the chaos inside your brain when distractions hijack your focus.

Marketing Analysis

This visual nails the mental tug-of-war every creator and marketer faces. Distraction is friction. And friction kills flow. The simple act of flipping your phone, going full screen, or blocking sites removes micro-decisions that drain focus and energy.

Why It Works

  • Visual humor makes distraction instantly relatable
  • Uses simple metaphors (tiny stickmen, map detour) to hit emotionally
  • Turns productivity into a story, not a lecture
  • Encourages self-awareness with zero guilt

Examples

  • Writers using “Focusmate” to stay accountable
  • Nike’s internal “No Meeting Wednesday” for deep work
  • TikTok creators batching videos to avoid task-switching fatigue
  • Developers using Pomodoro timers to keep momentum
