When your spouse says 'We need to talk' but really means 'Your attention span is dead,' it's time to admit your mind's gone AFK.

Enter Brick, the app attempting to patch that eroded focus, because apparently zoning out like a zombie doomscrolling isnât 'quality time.' As they put it, âFixing my eroded attention span has been a journey. Brick has sort of helped.â Spoiler: Itâs a start, like a participation trophy for your brain.
