set a timer

First rec: turn off all notifications Second: ideally delete social media apps, at least temporarily for a detox. Third: set an alarm in order to work or take care of certain tasks with absolutely no distraction. Try two hours with your phone in a closet or drawer and the difference in experience is radical. Enjoy!

Screenzen

It’s an app that you can use to block certain apps on your phone that has helped me greatly decrease my social media time without quitting cold turkey (though I’m trying to do that too, recently). I have it set so that I can only open instagram 7 times a day in 5 minute increments. I spend much less time doomscrolling but can still look at things my friends have sent me, etc.

setting time limits

currently going crazy cause i decided to turn them off but going to for sure turn it back on soon but insta is the only platform i use where i watch short form media and what helped me stop going on it so much was setting limits through screen time. it started with an hour then i kept on decreasing it till reaching 10 minutes. sometimes i do access it on my laptop cause theres no limit on it but i don't find myself doing it too often and only really do it to reply to my friends who send me stuff but yeahh thats kinda whats helped me personally

HUMANITY IS JUST THE COSMOS DISTILLED INTO SILLY LITTLE CLAY SHAPES

i made a tumblr web weaving type post abt this ages ago, but I was re-reminded of this topic when i saw this rec by @CHICKENONASTICK abt how we are the universe experiencing itself. since you cannot re-rec a post with an image i wanted to bring attention to this brennan lee mulligan quote that i feel is applicable:
