Reclaiming Your Attention

You do not have to quit social media. But use it on your terms:

• Turn off non-essential notifications — each one is an interruption designed to pull you back in
• Set daily time limits — iOS and Android both have screen time controls; set them and respect them
• Curate aggressively — unfollow accounts that make you feel worse, since the algorithm learns from your engagement

Check at set times instead of reactively, and move apps off your home screen to add friction between impulse and action. The goal is not abstinence but intentionality.
