I unfortunately check first thing, it's become a habit that I really need to break, that and getting off as many social medias as possible

@aaronoleary same here, I have started uninstalling my social media every 3 days to break the habit, as I found that the app time limit doesn't always work.

After I get to the office and go through and respond to all my emails and set the task list for the day. So usually around 2-3 hours after I wake up. I might check at lunch but not usually but my bad spot is the evenings when I’m bored.

Hate to admit it but, as soon as I get up! I live in the future (According to my family, time difference) So when I wake up the first thing I do is catch up with all the messages on the different social media platforms So yes, as soon as I get up... But I'm trying to break this habit!

@mimih_arteaga is there a reason why you want to break it?

d. Typically not at all. I visit my social profiles every few days. There are exceptions, like if I've just uploaded a cool drawing and want to see how many likes it's got, I might visit every few hours haha.

Way too early! I am trying to make it a habit to check it later in the day, because I have noticed that it can influence your daily mood so much.

The leading answer is clearly "As soon as I get up" here with a dash of guilt on the side! Strongly advise getting a basic alarm clock and leaving tech out the bedroom! Exchange the social media time for reading a book time. Minimum 5 pages a morning and it's a beautiful fresh way to start the day. You'll notice the positive difference in days. Social is rarely ever missed and you can typically forget about it until midday. This is great option! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/prod...

A while after waking up. I'm building a social media platform myself. So I'm interested to know what made you ask this question 🧐

I wake up at 5am and start working on he most important thing of the days. I first check social media at 730am for a brief 15 min. I go to social media for writing, posting and scheduling at 930am before my actual workday starts at 10am. From 10am onwards whenever I get a free time between works, I check the social media and comment. Those are just quick 5 minute thing (4-5 times a day).

a habit that must be broken indeed as @aaronoleary rights said. as soon as i get up is my answer to your question
Harshavardhan Reddy
;-) As soon as I get up, basically for updates, but from past few days fresh chat and then news etc..
Rhea Reanoga
A. Because after that, I'll barely have time to check it again for the rest of the day haha (except before falling asleep lol)

Honestly, I used to check my social media as soon as I got up. And I used to be on them all day long. 😅 It was time-consuming. I wanted to change that, so I adopted new habits. First, I changed the alarm clock on my mobile phone to an analogue alarm clock and put my phone in the other room before sleep. Then I made conditions like: If I do with my workout, I can check out my social media for 10 minutes (I set a timer for this activity). Planning my day helped me a lot. Then I programmed an app that reduces time on my smartphone, so I have a solution for this problem, and now I do things more consciously.

Launching soon!
I check PH as soon as I get up but I try to wait at least an hour or two to check the non-productive apps.

I'm the same as the crowd - as soon as I get up. The notifications make it hard to avoid this - need to turn them off!

I'm addicted to social media. So I check them as soon as I wake up, then during the day and before going to bed.

I usually have a quick scroll on my lunch break. Can't stand social media first thing in the morning!

If I'm honest, not much. I reached the point of no return where social networks overwhelmed me, I still struggle trying to be aware of corporate social networks, but personally I do not like to be aware. I must improve it, I know 😅
