There’s an involuntary trigger: see an app icon, open it, and then proceed to doomscroll.
I’ve been trying to fight for my attention, and this is a big win. I don’t remember the last time I had TikTok installed on my iPhone.
One day, I decided to uninstall it, and that was that. Bye, TikTok. One less app to check.
Checking social media is chaotic.
Now that I think about it, I don’t even know what I used to sign up for TikTok, since there are no emails from them in my inboxes.
Well, that’s a good thing, I guess.
I also don’t use X.com, so I’m only left to battle with Instagram for my attention.
Today, I’m just celebrating that I don’t remember the last time I had TikTok on my phone—probably a year or more ago.
