    Agree. SM scrolling had become a “go to” habit that wasn’t adding value to me…in fact it was chipping away at my mental health. I’m so over all these inconsequential people trying to out shout each other.

    Decided to delete the apps from my phone but wasn’t totally ready so I parked them in a folder off my home screen. Fast forward two weeks and the only ones I’ve looked at are LinkedIn and Reddit. Wow, it made a big difference to my productivity, mental health and relationships.

    Not going back…longer form posts are now the go.
