Maybe the wrong sub, but how do I replace the scrolling…
So, I’m trying to contribute to the boycotting against corporations (e.g., Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc.) and just reduce my consumption in general (with the help of this sub) BUT I’m lowkey still addicted to checking Facebook, Instagram, Snap, and Hinge. I work from home and it’s just pretty routine to check all my apps multiple times a day. I don’t know what to replace this habit with. I want to keep snap (because I talk to a lot of friends there), but I really don’t need to be on Facebook or Instagram for the most part. I don’t have TikTok or Twitter/X.
I don’t want to read all day either. I listen to a lot of podcasts. What else? Do I just put my fist down, and try to stop checking FB and insta incessantly? I also don’t want to be on reddit a bunch in lieu of the other apps because Reddit tends to skew negative/cynical/pessimistic (which is fine in small doses), but I notice an uptick in anxiety when I’m on Reddit too much 😅
Please help!!
Update: so, I put limits on my social media apps and I logged out of Facebook (haven’t checked once today). I’ve already spent a lot less time on them! Thank you for all the suggestions so far.
