Listen to one album start to finish without skipping. Notice how hard that’s gotten.

The ability to stay with one thing wears down quietly, because nothing announces that it is going. Years of skipping have taught your hand to move the second something is merely fine, and that reflex does not stay in the music app. It shows up in books, in conversations, in homework you abandon at the first dull paragraph.

Try one album, in order, doing nothing else. The interesting part is not the music, it is watching how many times you want to skip and what that urge feels like. Naming it once makes it much easier to ignore on Monday when the dull paragraph turns up.
