It’s just brilliant. He’s a good Twitter personality but that thread is incredible.

I feel like I’m spending too much time on the internet and on my phone. How do you stop that?

Give yourself a set hour a night to use the internet and then do other stuff the rest of the time?

I feel like it’s all day tho! I’ll flick on my phone when I’m walking to get lunch. Feel like I might need to ditch it for a whole week or just delete Instagram and Twitter?

About two years ago I moved the Facebook app to the last screen on my iPad and phone. That removed a lot of the mindless opening of the app and now I maybe look at it once a day rather than any time I turned on my phone as it meant I had to consciously scroll through several pages of apps to get to it. You could try that with all your social media?

That’s a good idea actually! I’ll try that over the weekend

I also think I could just be suffering from a bit of boredom at work mostly but it’s probably more habitual than anything else

evening all :wave:

went for drinks after work with a different team because I got invited to their monthly meeting for Reasons. was nice, had some drinks, ate some food, played some beer pong (my success rate: 0%) but was a bit weird as I didn’t know half of them and… yeah.

might get a McDonald’s on the way home. fancy a burger of some sort and do not have the required ingredients for a burger at home :hamburger:

Yeah, I remember the first chapter about the baseball game being an incredible piece of writing. Just zooming in and out on little details and connections. Need to read some more of his stuff.

I unintentionally did something similar when I got my new phone and the Facebook app was hidden away in a folder mixed in with all my other apps - barely even open it anymore unless there’s a good reason to.

It’s just a reflex action isn’t it? Need to do the same with the DiS icon :wink:

I downloaded an app called Forest which basically locks you out of your phone for a set period of time while a ‘tree’ grows - it helped me with the mindless picking up and scrolling, and they donate to a charity which plants real trees which is cool.

If i tell the train driver to put the pedal to the metal will I have endeared him enough for him to go faster

Ive deleted the Facebook app, find the messenger app gives me the important notifications, just go on Facebook via the mobile site but don’t have a shortcut for it anywhere. Definitely helps ignore the temptation to check what that red 1 is only to find someone is interested in doing something somewhere sometime

oddly I find the little red number makes me slightly anxious and puts me off opening the app, especially for Twitter when I might not have a pop up notification so the red number could represent ANYTHING. it’s usually just someone liking something I retweeted though, dunno what the problem is :man_shrugging:
