Do you find yourself constantly scrolling through social media in the morning, only to waste hours of your precious time? That was the case for me until I discovered a simple solution that helped me break my addiction to my phone and improve my morning routine.
The Problem:
Social media has become a huge time sink for many of us. In fact, a recent study found that people are currently using social media for about two hours a day. This means we are spending less time doing the things we actually want to do like reading books, practicing our hobbies, or simply finding ways to cure our boredom. The problem is that this scrolling is largely unconscious and non-deliberate, leading to a fundamental disconnect in our minds.
The Solution:
Contrary to what you might expect, technology itself offers the solution to this problem. Nowadays, we have apps and browser extensions that can block social media, as well as focus mode on the iPhone that limits the time spent on certain apps. However, there's an even simpler solution - logging out of social media.
How to Log Out of Social Media:
To break your addiction to your phone, all you need to do is log out of social media when you're done using it. Use social media when you intend to use it and then log out. If you need to use it again, simply log back in. The default state of your phone should be logged out.
Conclusion:
You might be thinking there are better solutions to this problem like deleting social media apps from your phone or quitting social media altogether. While those methods are more effective, they may not be for everyone. For those who can't or don't want to get rid of these apps, logging out is an easy and simple solution that has worked wonders for me. By logging out, I was able to break my social media addiction and improve my morning routine. Give it a try and see the results for yourself!
