I’m unable to stop viewing reels. Reels on cycling, comedy, movies, or pranks
Insta’s algo owned my time. Every. Single. Day.
So much so, that it left little time for other sources of info.
For me, there was only one solution; I uninstalled Insta.
Almost at once, my usage of other apps shot up. See the image to understand how quick and impactful the change has been.
1) Linkedin gives me Startup ecosystem news and a peek into the thinking of founders whom I respect.
2) Feedly is my RSS reader. It’s how I read feeds from HBR, Wired, Techcrunch, Inc42, etc.
Everyone has their own strategy for managing their screen time. For some, setting digital boundaries works; others might rely on self-discipline. For me, quitting cold turkey was the most effective approach.
Uninstall. Recover time. Win.
