Time to take a break?

It’s amazing that people spend on average 8 hours a day on social media I think, I’m not surprised they feel better for a detox - apart from any other considerations I’d have a headache if I was on that much.

Soo addictive. We come to a standstill, a halt in our day and what do we do! Reach for our phone ( well, not everyone but a LOT of us do )

I often think - years ago a pause in time, blank moments to fill didn't result in me reaching for my phone! So what did I do? Because there would have been thousands and thousands of pause in time. Addiction, thats what it is, that we know but its mastering the addiction that is a problem to some......

I don’t really use it except here and maybe once a week on Facebook. I only answer phone calls from people I know, basically.

I could most definitely do with a break.
I'm fed up with myself for constantly having my head in my phone.
Just have to muster up the willpower.

I gave up social media years ago and I do feel better for it. I do come on here, but in the main, people are nice here.

Just the other day the DGSs were not allowed their 'devices' and sent out to play. They had a great time in the garden and I could hear lots of laughing and carrying on. The eldest actually said, 'That was great. Good idea to just play.' I thought I was hearing things!
I'm not quite brave enough for a 'digital detox'.

OK, sounds like a good idea. See you in a week.
It's got to be easier than giving up ?!

Confirms what many of us suspect Maw. Thank you for a reminder. I suppose like most things in life “everything in moderation” is a good recommendation.

Thanks MawtheMerrier.
I shall show my OH the article. I think we both spend too much time on SM.
I've thought for a while that it's not good..
