Quitting social media no idea what path to take. (ive tried a lot)
Hi everyone
Over the past few years my attention span has been destroyed by social media and gaming. While i try to do tasks i actually need to do i only ever do them if i actually need to do them like college work.
if i try to delete social media i will always reinstall it daily. If i try to enable apps not allowing to be installed i will just disable it. If there is a way to get around it. It will probably be done regardless if i have to reset my phone just to do it or not.
I've been looking at options but all of them seem like a bad idea.
-
I get a dumb phone that cant run android apps on a budget and somehow use do banking and email.
-
i get a stock android phone, install a custom ROM on it and lock it down from there.
-
i use a Linux phone (or install Linux onto an android phone that is supported) (this seems like the best option)
I have tried to quit social media over the years but it has landed me nowhere. I feel really lazy. Any advice is welcome thank you.
