Why Building Metal Puzzles Might Be the Most Human Thing You Can Do Right Now

Feeling stuck in an endless scroll loop? You’re not alone.

After a long day, it's tempting to collapse into bed and mindlessly scroll through your phone. At first, it feels relaxing—even fun. But 40 minutes later, the content starts blending together. You’re not entertained anymore… yet you keep scrolling.

It’s not laziness. It’s burnout.
And what you may actually need isn’t more stimulation—but a new kind of engagement.

Reclaim Your Attention with Hands-On Focus

Psychologists call repetitive, aimless behaviors like endless scrolling stereotypic behavior—something that happens when our brains are overstimulated but undernourished. It’s similar to how animals pace in cages when they lack meaningful stimulation.

The solution?
Enrichment.

In animal care, environmental enrichment helps reduce stress by introducing challenges and engagement. For humans, that might look like a 3D puzzle you build with your hands and mind—not your thumbs.
