In general, avoid stimulants like HN, Reddit, Instagram to minimize context switching.
- dilpreet_singh 5y ago"Seek boredom", I like that one. I heard about it on the Deep Work podcast from Cal Newport. Definitely interesting and makes a lot of sense. I think that simply lying down with eyes closed, breathing deeply or meditating should recharge the cognitive exhaustion and help in grounding. Will definitely experiment with this and see if I am able to stick with it.
- busymom0 5y ago> seek boredom That's an excellent advice. Not just for quitting FB/IG but also for life in general. I often have my deepest thoughts and come up with product ideas when I am bored or in the shower or waiting for the bus.
