I can start by deleting the apps off my phone. And by reading a chapter on a book a day so you Can get something off your mind instead of being on social media
You can quit cold turkey by deleting all apps from your devices or gradually reduce the time you spend on the sites. I recommend only allowing yourself a set amount of time (45minutes) each day after you’ve completed a task (reading a book, homework, etc). Then reduce the time by 2-5 minutes each week. Good luck!
Instead of going through Facebook read a book, make art, listen to music, do a puzzle, sing, go on a walk, call a friend, clean, study, meditate, exercise, just replace it with something else.
take time for a phone detox! create a box where you can place it so it’s out of reach. challenge yourself to notice how often you pick it up or notice wanting to pick it up. try to keep a book or journal close by if you need to reroute your fidgety hands 😊
if you want to stop using social media by a certain time, set an alarm on your phone and allow yourself to relax or change the settings on your phone so you can only open the apps at certain time of the day or if you only have WIFI etc. if you have to travel to and from work maybe that is the time you check your socials, if social media is apart of your work, set times that you use your ‘work social media’ such as 9-5, and then you use your personal social media’s from 5-9/10ish before putting your phone down and beginning your evening routine
To stop using social media, it would be helpful to move the apps to a different home screen (you can have multiple). Also, setting a time limit through settings is helpful. (settings-screen time-app limits- add limit)
I have never liked to air my life for people to see. I feel that is what people do with social media. I enjoy small gatherings of family and close friends and an occasional party. I like face to face contact. I don’t enjoy the impersonal and, often, false representation of people’s lives on social media. So, I’m not one to partake in it.
Deactivate your social media first, instead of deleting them, and challenge yourself to spend one week without them. When the week finishes, you’ll see the difference and want more of it; then, do the challenge again, for two weeks instead. After it ends, evaluate your disposition and mental health, and if you are ready, make this change for good :)
I’m not sure. Social media creates powerful habit loops. I would read on breaking habits and try to extend those methods.
Put ur phone on do not disturb it helps to not pick up ur phone when ur not on it, it keeps u more focused on ur daily tasks
