Journaling about the days.
Hello readers I am in the midth of a 60 days challenge to cut down my scrolling time. The rule is no social media of any kind till 6pm. I split the posts into 10 days per post and will link them in every post. This is mostly to stay accountable and to read it for myself after some time. You are greatly invited to follow along.
Social Media Absitinence The Journal #1

Today was hard to resign from scrolling the web. My concentration was bad and I felt some boredom. I didn’t watch YouTube or Reddit, but I watched too much Udemy Course Introductions and some Coding Discord groups. In my mind, I was doing something productive, but I think that were excuses to let the time pass. I consider the challenge 50% done today.

Had some travel sickness and was tied to bed the whole day . No way I can survive this without any kind of media. Solid 10 hours of Netflix under my belt today.

Feeling alive again! I was looking forward to some work and staying away from social media. Mission accomplished.

Flying back to Germany today, no way I can do the 10h flight without entertainment. The challenge is on hold for this special occasion.

Sleeping the whole day with a bit of a jet lag. Couldn’t think of work or challenges.

Getting back in the groove, day 18 of the challenge already. I had the feeling it would start to get tougher at around day 15. The euphoria from the beginning is gone, I have to remind myself every day of this challenge. Starting to get productive again. No social media till 6pm

Great day, the jet lag is gone. I was doing a lot of actions today. No social media till 8p.m, it is time to write a story again.

I was outside the whole day and there was no time for social media. It is easier to stay away, when you occupy your time with meaningful things.

Sitting in front of the computer the whole day. It was hard to concentrate for me, I don’t know why. When I am bored or stressed, I want to chill with the phone in my hand lurking social media. It took some will power to say no today.
