Digital detox

[Bryan+]

I don’t have any social media cos I’ve got no mates, hope this helps

Just get yourselves a Russian IPad, like Joey and you’ll be have no choice but to detox.

I, sadly, still have to use social media for work but would love to pull away a bit.

Am I the first person to say they just couldn't do it? I'm just too into football (mostly from GoT), gaming (mostly from YouTube) and culture updates to go completely cold turkey from the internet in my personal time. That said, I'm generally not an addictive personality type. Honest! For example, I can easily drop everything I do online for my loved ones or if someone wants to do something in the outside world. It never becomes a burden to my lifestyle. I can even do the food shop when Everton are playing FFS!

Facebook in particular I have very limited overall interaction with. No work colleagues, just extremely close ties that I've known for years. I could easily go weeks without checking, though, as I have all the "good" ones as phone contacts.

I packed FB and Insta in after Trump's inauguration. Not been back yet.

Suppose WhatsApp is still Meta but I need that for work.

I give it a miss every now and then, be it a weekend or sometimes a week or two, and read a couple of books, use the weekend getting out for some fresh air , life is a lot more relaxed doing it mate

Can’t you do these things without the digital detox though?

Anybody tried to just leave all of the forums, Facebook ect for a few months?
Thinking of giving it a go.
Just using my phone as just that to make call ect.
Seem to spend a lot of time just looking at a screen( don't know what. but feel I should be doing something else.)
Any experience of doing this?
Before some smart arse says they didn't have a mobile till they were 20 or something I mean recently.

I've packed in all social media besides this forum tbh.

I'd recommend ebooks to help with the transition.

Yeah of course you can, it's whatever works for you, I like the break from it all, be it a weekend or a couple of weeks

Can’t wait until I change job and don’t need facebook for my business then I can get off there altogether.

Binned X off a while back. Insta is ok for just looking at the odd golf video and stuff.

LinkedIn is also the work of Satan.
