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

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
