i used to do all the 9gag shit, instagram and snapchat aswell. i think setting a goal like this wont work good for the long time. for me i just said fuck it and stopped it. dont feek like going back for 2 years now. only devRant, whatsapp and ytb now. goes in hand with working out 4-5 times a week. but setting virtual limits will just make you hate the limits and ignore them from time to time. even if you make 2 weeks. good luck though!
I have made a decision that I really want to document for myself on DevRant, under the comment section of this post.
I'm turning off all social media access after 7 PM for 2 weeks, just to experiment on how this pans out. This includes any online shopping apps and other apps like 9GAG, YouTube, Insta, Facebook, WhatsApp, Discord and DevRant.
Why am I doing this? Because I feel like I'm wasting too much of my time on these apps and enforcing rules on myself would make me bored AF and come up with creative ways to spend my time. Maybe I'll pick up the guitar again, maybe I'll learn new coding topics and create tutorial videos about them idk. Also boredom can also lead to proper sleeping times, I think.
My hands are already shaking thinking about tomorrow when my mind will take the impact for the first time. Wish me luck.
