Awesome write up! I started uninstalling different social media apps because of privacy concerns, and just because I don't like feeling addicted to anything. Twitter was my main social media app and I deleted it off my phone two months ago. The first two days I'd find myself clicking on where it used to be in my phone home screen πŸ˜‚ but now I go hours without thinking to check it. I only use it on my laptop's browser which really limited the time.

People love to ask me what I do if I'm not scrolling on social media!

Thank you and Great job!
My greatest hope was that less social media scrolling would = more productivity. But nah, I play video games and read books instead πŸ˜…

Still need to work on my productivity mindset, so what do you do? πŸ˜„

I’ve been reading A LOT and watching tv shows and movies as well. This is productivity in my book πŸ˜† I’m also spending tons more time being present with my family. Only recently I started channeling my productivity into coding and side projects.

From a mental health perspective it's very much more productive, at least to me πŸ˜„
Great that you're finding times to spend with family in these pandemic times! Stay safe!
