Today's Prompt:
Discuss ways that blogging or social media has changed you.
Oh wow. Well, this is something I have actually been thinking a lot about lately.
I have recently become aware-really aware-of how attached I have become to social media. I have also become more aware of what I should and should not share on social media.
I have been contemplating for some time removing all social media apps from my phone. I removed all but one game from my phone a little over a month ago and I haven't missed it. However, I do go into my social media apps more, so deleting my games didn't really help my problem.
I am addicted to those silly little icons on my phone and it annoys me! During a down moment with L, I'm always clicking on them. I can't just sit and watch a movie with her. It seems I always have to be on my phone!
I never thought about it until I became a parent. I didn't. I was never concerned with how much time I spent on my phone doing things before L. Now, I am constantly aware of it.
It needs to stop.
I believe the time has come for me to start weaning myself from the phone. I have thought about setting a timer when I'm on it. I have even thought about setting a timer to initiate when I can look at it. I have already shut off all notifications so I don't hear emails, Facebook, etc. any longer, but I am still picking the darn thing up to check!
Does anyone else have this issue? What are you doing about it? I could use some tips!
