I’ve had pretty good luck with the “screen time” limits on iOS if you doomscroll on your phone. Whenever it warns me, I’m generally horrified it’s been so long.

I will have to try that

Something that’s really worked for me is reading manga/webtoons on my phone! It’s the same motor action but slightly less brainrot

That’s a good idea.

Sometimes you wanna consume something bitter or alcohol, poison in small doses, all that. Listen to your body maybe and "zoom out" sometimes to look at the problems like they're some funny ants. Maybe watch Ant Man too, size humor is awesome for training perspective flexibility.

You and many many others. I’m sorting out seeds for next spring’s garden.

A good idea. I want to try to grow more things outside this year.

My New Year's resolution. Timer does help!

I’ll definitely give it a shot. Worse case scenario, it doesn’t help.

And honestly remember feeds exist & to use them.

I’ve been using feeds and lists more and it’s really helped me. Also when I open the app now the default is “only posts” so I’m not hit with a barrage of reposts and stuff.

I forgot about that feature

afthescientist.bsky.social•45 days ago

That’s a good idea, too.
