That's good advice in general, and thanks for saying it? I'm sure some people benefit from that kinda structure. But 'forbid' is sadly not a power I have over myself. And it's not just work time, I've spent hours every morning and night this week, and all day when I'm doing work or just trying to shower or cook food and I'm constantly stopping to check my indox and reply to messages and update my feed. Simple shit that should take ten minutes end up taking an hour because I can't stop getting distracted.
But it's particularly bad combo of stress, adhd, and the addictive design of social networking apps. I can just about manage two of the three, but this week has been real bad.
Sounds a bit like how I used to use facebook.
I disabled my account to stop it.
Yeah, that's my long-term plan. But I can't bring myself to do it right now. I feel like I have a month or whatever without posting, relalise I'm happier without it, I can then close my account. Right now I feels too big a step!
If there are conversations you need to have, move them to text or discord. Then you have no reason to keep it active.
Don't wait for a sign. It'll never come.
