Towards the end of 2021, I decided I was going to start the new year with a social media break for up to 30 days. In retrospect, the decision was not driven by anything deep and would probably just qualify as an experiment. I had become accustomed to spending a ‘few’ hours daily on social media especially on Instagram and Twitter and wanted to test how I would fare without them. So in typical ‘extra’ Nifemi style, as soon as the clock hit 12 o’clock on 1st January 2022 ( I didn't wait an extra minute), I deleted the social media apps I had on my phone - Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Snapchat except WhatsApp which could arguably be considered as an essential messaging app.
Hahaha! Feels like I just read my current situation as a story. Thanks for this Nifemi
Thanks for sharing. Like James Clear would say " Make it unattractive"! You made access unattractive enough and made the hiatus successful.
Yes indeed! The principles in atomic habits were very helpful and that's why I always recommend the book.
Are you back now on social media now?
Yes I am
