which is partly why i downloaded perfectly imperfect. i don’t exactly have a solution yet but so far here are my ideas :
-youtube is maybe a better alternative so you don’t miss out on pop culture stuff. if maybe you follow a few youtubers who talk about recent news, trends and events you can keep up with what’s happening. with ytb you can actually sit down and watch great content without scrolling. you just have to stay strong if you’re tempted by ytb shorts.
-there is an app called « beeper » which reunites all the different convos you have with your friends and followers on different social media apps like tikto, insta, whatsapp…etc. it allows you to keep talking to your friends without being tempted to scroll afterwards
-another tip i’m seriously considering doing too, is keeping up with your fav artists by going on instagram on your laptop (if you own one). i think it’s more difficult to scroll mindlessly on there and that way you can see what they post and log off 5 min later. maybe you can even activate a little notification to see everytime they post so that you don’t miss out on anything
-finally i feel like going on a huge unfollowing spree can help sort out the content and poeple you really want to follow and care about
i’m still figuring out how to manage that balance too ! hope we can help each other
