Limiting SOCIAL MEDIA Decreases LONELINESS and DEPRESSION

This is NOT a scientific study, so don't take it too seriously.

But that doesn't mean you shouldn't reduce exposure to Big Social.

This thread tells you the basics.

1) Uninstall all mobile apps that you don't use to make money.

Remember - if you need to contact someone in an emergency, you can always install the app temporarily to get in touch.

Turn off push notifications on apps you don't delete - fewer interruptions.

2) Don't consume social media haphazardly.

Set aside a block of time in the day to browse your favorite Twitter accounts and other sites.

That way you'll actually get more value from any information you get.

Don't browse during the rest of the day.
Focus on your advancement.

3) Don't give your personal data to Big Social corporations.

> Disable location tagging.
> Stop posting pictures and check-ins.
> Delete non-essential personal info from your profiles.
> Install ad and script blockers to disable trackers.
> Delete accounts you don't use.

4) Don't use social media on mobile.

When using a computer you regain time, attention and effectiveness.

> You have more options to block trackers and avoid distractions.
> You can read and navigate more easily.
> You can type, share information and upload more evolved media.

5) Get on my DAILY email list to regain your Power of Mind (email is OK).

The emails deliver an ENERGY boost every day.

You learn focus and control.

I'm not saying it's easy - only that it WORKS.
