Claude Gillot: Harlequin Espirit Follet: The Comedian’s Repast
(c. 1700–1715)

"…forgetting my phone on purpose when I'd most often accomplish that by default."

However I might try to slice the challenge, Unscrolling still seems difficult. It carries the usual difficulties associated with trying not to do something, a philosophical impossibility if not necessarily a physical one. It might just as well be impossible for all the success I seem to engender whenever attempting to accomplish it. Not even my very best intentions, freshly shaved, showered, and dressed in clean jeans, seem capable of succeeding very often, and even then, it seems more accidental than intentional. Still, I accept accidental as a valid tactic, except I cannot will an accident any more than I seem to be able to not do something as seemingly innocuous as scrolling. Maybe I’m hopeless.

Hopeless or not, I don’t seem to yet be beyond leveraging my budding forgetfulness towards this end.
