Quite a good collection of info, and nicely woven together, especially the bottomless bowl/never-ending social feed analogy.
For a month or so I tried doing everything else first and then logging onto facebook at the end of the day, IF I had time (I had a set bedtime). Sometimes I only had 15 min left, sometimes I didn't log in for days.
And I actually felt better! More relaxed. And it's not like I do anything stressful on fb, I just talk to friends. Also after I cut it I realized how much time I spent on it. It's a few minutes here and a few minutes there, but they add up to maybe 2 hours a day spent blabbing.
So then, we can enjoy longer spans of attention and become more productive in our work and studies.
Speaking of which, perhaps you could one day make a post about how to create time out of thin air. Or, barring that, something similar. I haven't yet been able to watch any of the movies you recommended and the reason is lack of time! I've read many things about prioritizing, productivity, etc., and I've improved for sure, but still there's not enough hours in the day to do all that I want. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello Alexander 😊
Ha! I find interesting when people say that they actually feel better when they have a break from facebook. I have heard this same speech from family members too; who, like you, say their time spent on the platform is not stressful. I must think about this sort of reaction a bit more.
A post about: How to make time out of thin air! 😅 Gosh, Alexander! If I only knew ... same here! I don't have enough time to do all the things I would like to do ... all at once. But, my very personal way to tackle this is alternating. It also works for me because it breaks my routine.
This is, of course, arranged all around my work/studies. So, in some months I don't watch movies. I just read books, let's say. In the summer I do SUP while in the winter I spend more time in-doors doing Yoga. Other times I need a break from Steemit, and so forth ...
But, I must say, that the fact I don't have children allows this flexibility. When I look at my brother and all the unexpected 'surprises' he has because of his little ones. I do wonder how people do it!
Oh! Glad to hear you learnt something new from my post "Phubbing" 😆
All the best to you always :)
I guess now I understand why people hire nannies!
