Ran a session? Log it.

Thirty seconds, straight after the session while it's honest. Your report is timestamped and immutable — you can't edit it later, which is exactly what makes it worth something. It lands in the moderation queue, and once approved it joins the public dataset as the next participant. No account. No name. Just your numbers.

Reading your own aversiveness score

Early scores of 5–7 are expected — that's the untrained reflex fighting the flood, and it fades, usually within the first hour. A high score on trial one is not failure; it's the baseline everyone starts from. The one exception: if annoyance suddenly spikes back up late in a long session, that's fatigue — stop, log it, and be proud of the number. Stopping is part of the protocol.

Mode Was the flood audible, or flash-only?

Ringer (sound + flash) Silent (flash only)

Trial number Which session is this for you? First ever = 1. The dataset's whole story is what happens between trial 1 and trial 5. Duration, in minutes How long you actually studied — not how long you meant to. Focus How focused were you? 1 = none · 4 = average · 7 = perfect Restraint How much mental strength did it take to not look? 1 = no effort · 7 = maximum effort. This is the number we expect to collapse. Study quality (optional) The quality of the work you produced. 1 = terrible · 4 = average · 7 = perfect Notification aversiveness (optional) Did the pings annoy you? 1 = pleasing or neutral · 7 = unbearably irritating Phone-conscious thought (optional) How much did the phone occupy your mind? 1 = never thought of it · 7 = constantly Times you looked Slip-ups — accidental glances at the screen. Count them honestly; the founding data shows 12 → 5 → 2 inside one sitting. A glance is not failure. Did the phone disappear? At any point, did you genuinely forget it was there?

Yes — it stopped existing No — still there

Session note (optional) What actually happened, in your own words. The founding dataset's best evidence is sentences like "I WAS LOWKEY SURPRISED AT MYSELF." Yours is welcome.
