It’s funny how I got stuck with social media, honestly. I mean, social media was like my safe haven during my difficult days until I became addicted. Then I realised I’d created another problem for myself, so I had to go on social media detox. How did I do this? I deactivated all my social media accounts, yes I did. I become more active on educating platforms like quora, Reddit and even medium. I started reading more, infact, I’ve never enjoyed reading like I do now. And just like that, I’m almost forgetting what my life was with Social media.
A lot of us are guilty, myself included. But, one thing that’s helped me is a newsfeed blocker on my facebook. I needed to reduce the amount of time still on that platform, still get the benefits of events and messaging a few people. Also, I started to delete social media apps that are not serving me benefits asides gulping my data services. It’s very easy to get hooked on social media without you realizing. Also, another thing that’s helped me is keeping my phone off me whenever I have any important task to do, I also keep my phone off my bedroom whenever I want to sleep at night. I hope these tricks work for you.
