How do we as a movement fight the constant need to consume our own attention?

One of our biggest and least discussed boycotts involves social media, and that is for a good reason. As much as we hate it, we wouldn’t be able to spread the word without them. We have places like Bluesky now, and discord is helpful for communication, but how do we cut out the problematic social media programs?

As someone who does freelance work, advertising and job hunting is done mainly on Bluesky and Facebook. As someone who has ADHD and an addictive personality, I spend way too much time scrolling Reddit or Youtube or Facebook. The time I spend on there is just as bad as buying from Amazon and Walmart, so what do I do to loosen on their chokehold on my attention?

I am looking to cut down my consumption on companies that are manipulating and baiting their customers and viewers, not looking to cut down my screen time. So please no “go outside and touch grass” or “just do something useful with your time instead.” I may be willing to do go to that extent, but the mass majority of people need a reasonable alternative for these habits or they are going to continue using the ones that are problematic.
