Intention check: why are you opening this app?
An intention check means picking why you are opening the app (bored, stressed or a real reason) and then breathing for 10 seconds. It takes about 20 seconds, and naming the reason is sometimes enough to make the urge fade.
How to do it
Intention check: why are you opening this app?, step by step.
When MiniMove asks, pause for a second.
Pick the honest reason: bored, stressed, avoiding something, or a real task.
Breathe slowly for 10 seconds.
Then decide: open the app, or skip the scroll.

What if I can't do it?
There is no wrong answer, and nobody sees it but you. In a hurry? Pick the real reason and go; “I can't do this” in the app swaps in another Move and stops suggesting it.
