This week vlog follows Aileen on her social media detox. The rules she lays out for this are very specific to her – to make the challenge more appropriate you could aim to keep the following rules for five days:
- No checking phone for the first hour of the morning
- Set an alarm for an hour after waking up to let you know you can use your phone
- Delete all social media apps
- Re-download them as needed after the challenge
- Decrease notifications after the five days
-
(If you’re going to be looking at the app soon anyway, you’ll see all the new messages, no need to get a buzz for every single one)
-
Plus! Check out the app Space that Aileen uses.
