I need to quit the internet

I think I’m obsessed.

I spend a disgusting amount of time on my phone.

mainly Pinterest, Facebook, instagram.

im also on WhatsApp constantly due to work commitments mainly. And sending memes to my best friend.

I want to be free of my phone. But then I think about how quick and easy it makes answering questions I have. Interior inspiration. Reaching recommendations. Accessing local information I wouldn’t otherwise have seen to know about.

I can’t quit. Because I don’t understand life without it now. But when I saw my screen time useage on my phone this week I audibly gasped.

anyone else a slave to their phone?

Yep, I'm right here. I'm trying to limit my screen time because it's time consuming and also impacts my eyes badly. I know I won't be able to quit internet or social media altogether, nor do I want to (I actually enjoy talking to people online and reading news and watching videos), but I definitely need to limit the time spent online, because that gets in a way of me getting outside and being active.
