Force Quit

When a specific thought, worry, or emotion keeps looping, you intentionally stop feeding it.

Jay Shetty and the Fragmented Attention Problem

High fit

Force Quit is about intentionally stopping a thought or behavior that keeps looping. Jay Shetty identified that the loop wasn't just 'checking the phone' — it was the habit of escaping discomfort the moment it appeared. The diagnostic question he developed — 'Is it information or comfort?' — functions exactly like a force quit command. It interrupts the automatic behavior before it completes.
