I stopped using any "Meta" products, turned off notifications on my phone for anything else, and have screen time limits (though Apple's screen time is much less effective than Android, for some reason). I keep my phone in another room at night.
I find now that once I spend a small amount of time on social media (even HN) I start noticing a kind of gross, anxious feeling that leads me to pause.
- low_tech_love 5y agoSame here. It’s not to say that I don’t find other stuff (like gaming, reading, programming, etc) that will take large chunks out of time, but at least I feel like it was worth it. My experience with social media is that I almost always feel like shit for wasting my time afterwards.
