Wow, yes you nailed it with this piece. I took FB off my phone and now find myself on Youtube "watching podcasts," :) Ok, I did it, deleted YT from my phone. Oh dear :)

Great post Nic. Thank you!!

Yep, I'm in bed too! Just posted your link on FB after deleting YT. Interesting how I already feel a tension but in a good way. Liberated might be the word. xx

Maybe it’s all about control. I have all my notifications turned off. So have to click the app to view. Has reduced the doom scrolling. But sometimes I do get FOMO / missed the sugar rush.

I'm trying to keep all mine just on my laptop so I have to make a conscious effort to come here into my office to log into any socials. Bummer is that when I upload photos through the desktop FB it adds weird streaks so I have to download FB onto my phone whenever I want to post an image, then delete it again!
