> I got into self-help and meditation
I know it can be expensive but consider a real live therapist alongside self help resources. Talking out your problems to an actual human, who is trained to listen, can provide the quantum leap needed for resolving a whole host of personal problems.
Personally, Apples screen time limits and Downtime features have been a god send for my overwatch issues on Instagram. I have most non-work apps blocked from 7:00AM to 6:00PM and a 15 minute per day limit on Instagram. Since doing that, I feel much more engaged and efficient at work and have also managed to knock out some technical reading on the Kindle app (one of the few apps that I allow myself to use at any time).
- tayo42 4y agoHow do you you find a good one?
- anthomtb 4y agoTrial and error. I wish I knew a way to find a good therapist without that process. But I do not. And unlike dentists, doctors, counter installers, pet sitters, window cleaners and most other services, folks will not fall over themselves to give you a therapist recommendation (maybe that is a peculiarity of my circle of acquaintances). To find a therapist, Psychology Today worked well enough. To me, having one is better than having none.
