Easing into detox. Tips?
I have been trying to get off my digital addiction for about six months. I installed JOMO and my screen time went down from about 6 hours a day to a mere 3.5 -4. Still not happy with that. Should I try going 24 hours with no phone on a weekend just to give myself no option? I’d really love to get out of my current career in advertising and marketing at a small creative agency and switch to something that doesn’t require me to have social media of any kind. I want to get off the hamster wheel. I want to read and play guitar and socialize with my one year old son and my wife and my friends in the real world. I just turned 40 and life is going by too fast to be staring at crap other people created to sell ads. And most of it is incredibly dumb.
Could ai counterintuitively help solve the problem? A flood of slop content could finally overwhelm traditional addictive content and people could finally just have enough. Just trying to be optimistic.
What helped you finally break the habit?
