I don't even use most social media but it still feels like it eats up so much of my time and energy
I'm just trying to be better about not staring at my phone for ages at a time, half the time there's not even anything to actually do or look at and yet!!!
the social media is just like... it's one thing if you're actually talking with friends but it's another if you're mindlessly scrolling TikTok or instagram reels or whatever
i don't remember what type of phone you have, but if you have a samsung it has built in timers you can set for individual apps, and doing that made a HUGE difference in my doomscrolling
I also started working out again and I'm so sore my god. the body forgets every time, it's like we've never done this before, why am i betrayed like this
Oh one of my friends who goes to Germany a lot (German husband) loves those (she mixes her own though -- I'm going to tell her about these premixed ones!)
It's Kam!
: I installed an app on my phone that asks me how long I want to spend on any app (you choose which to activate) and then it'll stop you if you exceed the time you said. I like it because sometimes I DO want to actively look at stuff but I have to intentionally declare it lol
oh that's a good idea, what's the app called? I'm not too bad about social media on the whole, I stopped using FB and twitter and only really use plurk and discord for rp stuff...but instagram often turns into a scrolling timesink >.>
it's called StayFree! I like it so far because it's very customizable. it shows you total time spent on phone and how many times you unlocked it also. but you can remove things from tracking, like Google maps for example since that activates automatically every time I turn on my car lol

: thank you!! I'm still forcing myself to take it easy because I'm bad at taking breaks but I feel less stressed out by the concept of the Internet (for now)
there's a sushi place down the street that's basically like... a sushi deli with fresh made grab n go rolls and a sashimi counter and it's so freaking good
VERY PLEASED
