Disengaging from most social media platforms has been one of the best things I've done for my quality of life. I've even cut down on news updates. I used to be a news junky, compulsively reading various news sites and feeds. Now I mostly read longer form articles on the weekend. I may not be as up to date, but I feel more informed, less distracted, and spend more time on more productive activities.  I'm not a purist by any means, as my activity on this site (and my rubber-necking fascination with the NuTSR thread) proves. But social media will fill in all the gaps and time in your attention and start drowning out reflection and productive activity if you let it. Good to take stock and prune back apps, subs, feeds, and sites on a regular basis and completely go off line for good chunks of time.</p></blockquote><p></p>
