In this episode we're talking about how to stop wasting time on social media!
Lately I have been in a really bad habit of mindlessly scrolling on Instagram during all of my free time.
…while my coffee was brewing
…while riding in a car
…while literally waiting in line for anything
…while laying in bed in the evening and morning
Basically all of the time.
And the sad thing is that I didn’t even realize it until Apple rolled out the Screen Time feature.
I was shocked to see how much time I was spending on my phone and specifically on Instagram.
I was even more shocked when I started reading articles from other people who were “horrified” at how much time they spent on Instagram… and they spent LESS TIME on it than I was!
Talk about a reality check.
But to be completely honest…
This reality check changed nothing.
Because the habit of checking Instagram was so ingrained in my day to day life that the knowledge of how bad it was, wasn’t enough to change them.
So what did I do to finally start breaking this habit and stop wasting time on social media?
I implemented 3 “rules” into my life that have dramatically changed how much time I spend on social media!
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How I’ve struggled with social media lately
The 3 rules I implemented in my life that have helped me stop wasting time on social media apps
