A couple of weeks ago I decided to entirely block Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and google news for a week. I has previously set screen time limits on Twitter, which I had become downright addicted to, but I found myself frequently overriding it. After a week of quitting, I found myself really not wanting to go back. I decided to keep the apps removed from my phone and blocked on my main browser, with a special Firefox profile dedicated to social media. In that profile, I downloaded an extension that limits me to 3-5 minutes per day per site. Most of the time I don’t even use it. Having it as a separate profile lets me not worry as much about having the site blocking extension have access to all the sites I browse. If you’ve struggled with this sort of thing, maybe give this approach a try. If I’m being honest, I was probably on Twitter for an hour and a half a day previously. Now it’s just minutes.
