For now I’ll be try but more mindful but I don’t wanna stop altogether. I’ll consider if it continues and gets worse. Your hyper fixations, I might post less frequently after a while.
But like I’m really enjoying the community and it makes me feel better, unlike Reddit
Omg so many typos Meds wore off, I’m sleepy, got an exam in the morning oh my god
Logging off
I have a digital wellbeing app that allows me to set time limits for each individual app, and I can set work mode to allow whatever apps I want during the work day. When the app is "off" the icon turns gray and you can't open it without telling Digital Wellbeing you need 5 minutes (or turning DW off). This helps me keep my usage down, lol.
See, I would just disable it if I set it up myself, and I'm more "tech savvy" than my friends, so if I delegated this task, I would probably manage to find a work around at some point.
I do often click "use app for five minutes" lol. But often just that pop up where I basically have to give myself permission to be off task is enough to get me back on task.
