It’s been almost two weeks since I enabled the timer on my phone. To limit the amount of time that I use Facebook and Instagram.

30 minutes a day.

I had intended to allow myself 30 minutes each for FB and Insta. But it gave me 30 minutes for both.

And you know what? I’m fine with that.

The time limit is only on my phone. If I want, I can access the programs on my computer.

But my problem is looking at these apps on my phone.

Before the limits, it was easy to scroll mindlessly for a couple of hours.

Now, I use up the time and that’s fine.

30 minutes is enough time to see some stuff. Catch up. Do a bit of scrolling.

And when it’s done, I don’t feel like I’ve wasted my time. Maybe I did. But it’s only 30 minutes.

It’s allowing me to get to sleep sooner. And do other things.

I think the timer is going to stay on.
