I recently removed all social media from my phone and blocked it on my desktop. It forces me to get to work, or get away from my PC. That + a Trello list of all the things I need to do, turned into tiny tasks that all take less than an hour, makes it much easier to get to work when I need to
I didn't delete them from my phone, but I did disable all notifications. I found that the social networks weren't the problem, it was their constant nagging to check them.
I've found now that I only check my social media a couple of times a day, usually during lunch and after work.
I consider myself as an enthusiast in learning new things everyday, about our history and future as well as the present. My interests: Ancient History, Religion, Science, Technology , Algorit and Math
On this note: I totally removed social media. I've found much more time to study and learn and practice but...I've also learned to create or find new distractions as well xD
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Does that mean no social media anywhere, period?
I check all of them once a day for a total of 5 minutes.
Is it correct to consider dev.to as social media for developers? In this case 5 minutes a day are not enough to be an active member 😀
Nah, I see Dev as research and networking, so that's not included. It is however limited to 1 hour a day on work days (when I'm not writing)

Oh... I should turn off Whatsapp notifications, really that app just drives me crazy and makes me lose time like a champ.
Haha :) Good
