When I decided to quit social media two years ago, I did it because of the data collection at facebook. I decided to log back in a few months later after I quit and let me tell you- nobody even wrote a single message. Nobody noticed I was gone. A lot of friends became so irrelevant. I suddenly realized that what was happening on my social media had nothing to do with the things that happened in real life. I was upset, but also felt enlightened. All these people on social media putting on a facade that had nothing in common with their real life made me value my own life more. I didn't need to show anyone how great my day was or how cool of a car I have, because nobody cared anyway. I was simply happy with what I had and didn't feel the need to tell anyone about it. That's when social media no longer had relevance in my life.

I'm bummed by the fact that you haven't received more traction for the quality stuff you out out. Great stuff, if that hasn't been said enough by others! May the algorithms bless thee!

Dude, super helpful ideas even today! Step 4, honestly it's never crossed my mind that just starting my day that way would really help set me up for success through the day! I struggle with ADHD, so anything I can do to help myself NOT get distracted is hugely helpful!✌️

Recently discovered "kill news feed" chrome extension, which does exactly as it says. I like the idea of one you suggested better as it adds a quote for the day. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your useful advice!

The extensions are useful but it's better to generate willpower by not engaging in the addicting parts of social media by yourself, it's really hard to do but it's worth it
