Anyone want to do this challenge with me and try to either completely get off social media including LSA until March 1 or at least reduce the time on sites like YouTube, Twitter, LSA etc considerably?I honestly might go more for the latter but I want to focus on things like language and math study in place of being on these social media platforms although to be fair, the math/language study will still involve YouTube but I want to watch and read more substantive things that help me grow intellectually.

Who else is interested in something like this?I think it could also help one's mental health since if you were more productive for the next month, you can feel like you accomplished something.

I did this when the riots started happening last year. I got so tired of every other thread talking about it, and seeing it all over social media, that I blocked LSA, certain news sites and keywords on Twitter for a few weeks. It got to be too much.

I'm ok for now, but I know when things get a little too dark and negative, and nobody has anything positive to say, then that's when I'll be stepping back and taking another break.

Why do you wanna involve other people in this mess? Just go do what you gotta do for you
Um, I asked who wanted to join the challenge, it's something positive and not a command that somehow loops people in who want nothing to do with it.I even wanted this geared more towards those with mental health problems but couldn't post it in the mental health thread for some reason.

Clearly you want nothing to do with this ''mess''...so, why are you here?Don't post if you don't like this at all, simple.

I want to join. I know I need to unplug but usually never follow through on these challenges. New month is coming up, so it’s worth a shot.

I'll join. So do we come back here to update each other ?
Yeah, I was thinking we could do something like that, it doesn't even have to be 100% just reduced time on these platforms including this one.The updates should just mention how one is doing mentally and what type of personal growth investments were made.

I'm interested. I don't think I want to be gone for a month, but I want to reclaim more of my time and invest it into other things.

Yeah, it doesn't even need to be a month either lol but still effort made towards the general idea of better time trade off.

I'll join too (will try for longer than a month). I need a digital detox anyways. Since the pandemic, I've been putzing around online a lot more (because there's nothing else to do) and it's fµck!ng with my productivity/goals.

I recommend installing a website blocker to stave off temptation.

For desktops: The best one is Cold Turkey (it works on Windows/Mac only). It's so strict that you can't even uninstall it during a locked block and any browsers that can't install CT's extension (ie Brave, Tor, IE) are automatically shut down.

Also recommended blockers for phones, tablets and chromebooks:

Good luck all! I will see you soon.*

ETA: *unless something serious pops off, then I'll be back like white on rice.

I’m in! I got an exam in March so it’s perfect and I’m currently under the covers so my partner doesn’t see the light from my phone! I should have been sleep couple hours ago

Love your post here the best lol and impressive that you even want to go for longer than a month which is highly motivating for me to keep the mild cessation of social media during the next month going even longer as well in a way.I want to always be more productive from now on (not gonna lie, if something on the scale of the Capitol insurrection pops off again, I'll be all over it) otherwise see you at the end of the month with the update!:)

I'll join! I spend too much time here scrolling. I'll cut down to only coming on LSA for TV watch threads or whenever major political events happen. That's when LSA brings me the most happiness.

After reading the book, "10 reasons to delete your social media" I've already deactivated Instagram and was looking to stop with the others.

Let's do it.

3 days late lol but count me in (y) I deactivated all my other socials mostly because I'm sick of them, but also to concentrate for this tough semester. Good luck OP and everyone :)

I'm a total lsa addict.

I need to make a list of everything I want to achieve for the day, and after I achieve everything on my list. I'll allow myself to hop on here.
