This was my exact experience of the problem. I cut back dramatically on device usage and news, to the point where I suddenly felt very disoriented and disconnected socially. It was a big improvement in many ways, but that was a real problem and I'm still adjusting to find the right level.
- PebblesRox 5y agoI did Facebook Fridays for a while (before gradually losing interest in Facebook). It was a helpful structure for me: as much Facebook as I wanted on Friday, none the rest of the week. (I use the Messenger app for FB messages so didn't put any limits there. There's even a separate Messenger website!) I'd end up naturally spending only 20 minutes or so on Fridays; enough to check notifications and realize nothing really interesting or important was actually on there. I found Facebook Fridays to be more sustainable than going totally cold turkey. Now I just go on Facebook every once in a while if I have a specific purpose. Hmm, maybe I need to try Twitter Tuesdays or HN Thursdays...
