Guys! I am going to cut down fast social media

In a topic of whimsical living, dopamine detox, mindful productivity, sensory grounding, digital minimalism, neo-digital whimsy, internet revival, cyber-flaneur, slow living, and taking back your life.

Hello!

I am sure a lot of us know how social media has fried our brains. Our attention span is horrendous! And we are wasting a lot of our time just scrolling. It is actually eating me and my life.

I have responsibilities,

there are so many places and hobbies I want to explore,

and I also want to hang out with my friends more,

but guess what? I scroll away my time, and when I actually do things, I cannot concentrate. I really wanna stop

Here's what I'm going to do:

1. Replace fast social media with slower one (FriendRewind, Spacehey, and Tumblr)

2. Only go to Insta or TikTok to text friends, and watching the reels they sent me (How could I ignore videos they send me, that would be mean :( )

3. No media while I am doing something, including walking, showering, and cooking

4. No media 1 hour after waking and 1 hour before sleeping

5. Plan out my day the day before so that I actually follow through


I think that's it for now. What do you guys think of this? Let's see how this goes for the next 3 weeks. Feel free to join my scary journey! We can inspire each other–send me a message if you would like to motivate each other.

I've seriouslyyyyy cut down on the vast majority of social media since liek I was 20, It's done me such wonders. The amount of stress was cut down a lotttt, though I use texting apps quite a bit for my friends (all diff timezones so), it's so worth, trust. Pretty hard at first but I truly believe anyone can someday get much happier lives by doing stuff like this. Sorry for the ramble im passionate about this kinda thing xD Best of luck with this, I believe in you!

I'm so glad I don't use Instagram and Tik Tok, having ADHD I'd be so fried. But I have YT shorts and that's pretty bad already, I wish u could hide em or sum cuz long form content is the REAL peak!

good luck with this, i'm really addicted to social media, but i can't leave it lol.

for the best results in your recapitulation, reduce mainly TikTok and Instagram, cause they are dopamine machines lol :fryingpan:
