Life is genuinely so much easier once you start to lower the amount of time you spend on ur phone. Its actually a super simple thing that is always achievable when you think about it, but trying to suddenly go from spending 10 hours on your phone daily to 1-2 is toughðŸ˜Â
The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it gets, because like its really THAT simple. just turn off the damn phone. But I find myself stuck in an endless cycle of avoiding responsibilities most of the time. Today wasn't the most productive thing I had, but I didn't spend my time doing nothing either, so that leaves me with things to be proud and disappointed of, lmao
Being productive seems easy when I think of those pretty , organized girls doing work or studying vlogs. Like yes . I , too, will become the aesthetic studying pinterest girl.Â
If anyone also had a similar experience and has some tips on spending your time wisely, please lmk!! It rly might be useful

yo fr i've been struggling with phone addiction. i spend 3-4h a day on social media and trying to convince myself that im using it for inspo or something (im an artist so i like to see others art) but in reality its just a form of excuse to go there anyway and cant stop scrolling till my head hurt. the f phone makes me soo dumb, now i deleted all social media and keep doing my old hobbies to keep myself busy and distracting me from work. try and delete your social media or apps that are distracting u and start something new, like watching movies, reading a book, crocheting or working out. just pick something u like and do it even if u have the urge to pick up your phone, and put some timers on some apps so u can keep track of how much time are u in. sorry for the large reply :''O and sorry if i spelled something wrong my english is kinda rusty (not my first language)
thank u for taking the time to reply! I'm actually an artist as well and I post my art on tiktok, so that makes me have to post at least once a few days in order to not loose my engagement. bcz of that it's hard for me to delete all of my social media apps :<
if it weren't for that, i'd definitely have deleted them all by now

i feel you :( honestly there really isnt a place for us artists to post on right now, if you go on insta, meta and its bs ai training sucks, tiktoks algorithm is heavily based on luck, and so on. its like we get shadowbanned wherever we go

Bro frrrr I've been trying to get some time off my phone but I have a bf i don't see often and we don't go to school together, so I always have it on me. Thinking abt just app locking things like tiktok/insta or getting my bf to do it so I can't get through the lock
as for tips on being productive, I also look at like cute aesthetic thing and I'm like "I WANNA BE THAT" but I just can't? I also have bad depression and ocd, which do not go hand in hand very well and causes a lot of anxiety. I use the finch app kind of like an accountability type thing and it's one of the apps that really has helped! If you give it a try let me know and I can add you as a friend on it!
thank you for the suggestion!! i'll definitely check that out :D
I hope it gets better for u too!
