“It is okay to own a technology; what is not okay is to be owned by technology.”

Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter?
Where do you spend most of your time?
Snapchat, Telegram, or WhatsApp?
What’s your addiction?
TikTok, Youtube, or Tinder?
“For a better mental health, just turning off the unwanted notifications, getting rid of the social apps that you don’t really need to have will help you in different ways.”
― Jyoti Patel
Do you need all that garbage you’re consuming from social media?
Is the information you’re gaining from social media relevant to your long-term growth and success?
Are you a Creator or merely a consumer of social media platforms?
Can you imagine the productivity of your work without social media?
“Be careful not to let a negative social media life attract you to a dark way of thinking.”
― Germany Kent
What you need to read is good books, not Facebook posts.
What you need to watch is great movies, not Instagram reels.
What you need to build is relationships, not followers on Twitter.
What you need to focus on is actual lectures, not YouTube entertainment.
“Just like using drugs and alcohol to numb the pain can — and does — lead to addiction, using social media to fill the void of relationships, or other needs, often leads to addiction, as well.”
– Mandy J. Hoffman
If something is impacting your mental and physical health adversely and still you’re unable to level it, that’s an addiction, my friend.
Like alcohol, drugs, smoking, porn, and masturbation, social media is the next addiction with detrimental effects on your well-being.
Except for the Creators and Marketers, no one gets rich by investing time on social media. What you’re doing is not an investment but time waste.
“You can’t, in other words, build a billion-dollar empire like Facebook if you’re wasting hours every day using a service like Facebook.”
― Cal Newport
