No screens for a whole hour after you wake up. You will feel a noticeable difference not being bombarded by notifications immediately after opening your eyes or injecting the Instagram algorithm into your system upon gaining sentience once again.
Admittedly, this is much easier for me as I wake up at 5:00 (go to bed at 9-10), so I have a lot of time before obligations kick in.
During this time, you can read a book you’ve been meaning to read, get some homework done, read the Bible, make coffee, meditate, and generally anything else that being on your phone would inhibit you from doing.

Maybe I should have put this in ask… because I say this. It’s 8am in chicago. I’m logged the fuck on 😭
It’s so difficult. I’ve been talking to my therapist about the way I’ve let socials rot my brain & behavior in some ways.
im Trying to slowly implement this & trying to not get down on myself for days like today.
The days where I don’t get online first thing in the morning this week have felt really great. More focused & starts the day out right
Any advice? How do y’all limit socials in the morning?

First rec: turn off all notifications
Second: ideally delete social media apps, at least temporarily for a detox.
Third: set an alarm in order to work or take care of certain tasks with absolutely no distraction. Try two hours with your phone in a closet or drawer and the difference in experience is radical.
Enjoy!

Use an app if you have to. I like to turn on a podcast and put my phone down for an hour while I get moving for the day. Objects at rest stay at rest.
I used to be a day-off bedrotter but no longer! You can do it!

everyones got AirPods on looking down and absorbed in themselves. It’s amazing seeing people’s faces light up when you smile at them. Sometimes they’re almost incredulous.

I just quite like the way my desk looks with the Austin skyline in the background. It's by no means a clean desk, but I like it very much.
There is a target bag over the lamp because when I record videos for my YouTube channel, it acts as a light diffuser. And I just never take it off.
