It sucks when you're not even being social on social media.

I spend a lot of time on IG because it feels like a way to not be alone even though it's a false impression. Another toxic element of social media is the comparison I always do with other people. I see people I wanna be more alike with but at the same time watching them everyday living a life you would accomplish yourself, it makes you feel less worth it and makes hate your life. Great video Ruri!

Start your day with a to do list, and then keep your phone out of sight. Do your tasks for the day, and use your phone for specific duration as break time. I’ve set a focus mode on my phone which doesn’t allow me to use the app more than 5 mins, unless I can choose to be in break. Max break possible is 30 mins. After 10 pm I’m free to do what I want and unwind.

Hey, lately I’ve become a fan. I’m learning English and your conversations in videos are really helping me

This is so true because I created time in the morning and afternoon to study Japanese but sometimes I find myself wasting time on social media apps. I’ll definitely try these tips, especially the app you were talking about 🙏🏽

I really needed this video, What I really like about your content is that, you give practical solutions that people (Me in particular) can utilise and relate to. Keep up the awesome job!

I don't have any of my apps on my home screen anymore. I feel like it's the most reasonable way to stop using social media, without having to completely remove them out from your life (I tried it and it was unsustainable). This way I have to consciously go onto the social media with, rather than just as a reflex.

Another thing to do is to just follow less people. I really only follow the people I know in real life, as it's what social media was intended for in the first place. Plus, the majority of public accounts seem to be fighting for your attention, so they use special tactics to do so.

I just unfollowed everyone, something most people don’t have the balls to do, I only get on to post and get off, and my life has gotten slot better, feels good to be detached from followers and story views, not I’m focused on reading books

[willowshade]

Great Video! Getting stuck scrolling saps time. I catch myself doing this a lot. I have changed my habits. Awareness of how we spend our time and how to promote chasing our goals and not scrolls is a great thing.

[Christian-vebs]

I was losing too much time on social media, but i didn't turn off notifications, i uninstalled them, since then, i feel so happy.

[aliciaocarisgutierrez]

Very practical video, I've been trying to quit using certain apps such as tiktok and ig because they made myself loss concentration in what actually I want to do, until now I lower my timing on those apps, I'm glad about it.
