    My inbox is a black hole, sucking in messages faster than I can reply.

    @slimmy82 Consider deleting Instagram. Use it from your browser for increased friction. I did this. Eventually, I stopped using it.

    @curatedforfounders I consume Instagram but don’t post. Painful

    My phone - TikTok is one of the worst ones. I've set a time limit and I try to stick to 30 minutes a day (when I say that out loud it sounds insane haha) But once I hit it - whatever time that is I tell myself - no more Tiktok

    Totally get it. πŸ˜… Social media can be a black hole of distraction. I often find myself lost in research rabbit holes when I should be working. It's a work in progress, but recognizing it is the first step.
