Weaning off social media,

[ElderBerries]

Newstalk covered the subject recently and the presenter held his hand up and admitted he is in the same boat, Scrolling in bed and before
getting out of bed he is scrolling again,

Yer missus confirmed to me that scrolling various sites sums up your activity in bed these days jimmy.

Have been aware recently of how much time i was spending online, Checking various apps during the day at work, Carrying on after dinner at home,
Scrolling while in bed, Scrolling before i get out of bed, I have even been known to be on the Proc now and again,
Last few nights i have eased off, Go to bed and read a book last few nights or do a word search, Have avoided checking my phone early in the morning,
And guess what? The world did not end, I see my young fella constantly on his phone on Tik Tok and you tube and realised i need to set a better example,

Canvassing will exhaust ya over the autumn and early winter so you'll just go straight to sleep.....be grand like....

Elon Musk has destroyed twitter so giving that up is easy.

Reddit is where all the cool kids hang out these days.

I've a good app (the irony) for it on my phone called off the grid that limits you from using your phone for however long you designate. Have to pay to unlock before that time.

I don't use it as much as I should, but find it very handy when trying to chill watching a movie or whatever.

Can you call emergency numbers still on your phone?

You can indeed.

I never used Facebook or others like it. Used Twitter for a long time but found it was becoming a time trap. Deleted my account - haven't regretted it once.

Consider reading Johann Hari's "Stolen Focus". I read it a while back after it was recommended on here - well worth a go.
