deleted IG from my phone. 

i’m not sure what i’m tryna achieve but i felt the urge to do it after looking at the screentime hours. sooo here i am, casting from a phone without an app to doomscroll short format videos based on what it thinks i need to see/listen/believe. 🤓

downloaded duolingo to learn spanish to fill a gap from deleting IG. also watching more educational/informative content on youtube.

friend tried to lure me back to IG and said pls set a hard screen time limit but pls come back. sucks to say no 😭but i gotta do this for myself and see how it affects my day to days.

‼️‼️

the content also mostly made me feel like i didn’t know how to human so idk why i stuck around so long.

IG is a blackhole. As soon as you open it30-60mins disappear.

i know for sure that not using IG the way it’s supposed to be - as a photographer, has affected my career path. but there’s no other way i would do business so i made peace with it early on in like 2017?!

i left years ago and it was such a good move for my mental health. sometimes i wonder if it’s hindered my career, but my gut always says no and i trust that 100%

So far I'm on my 3rd deletion. When I realize the amount of time I'm wasting I also say enough. But the force is strong in that one. When will I return? That is the question?

I retired in 2020. My age now 74. X field tech for an elevator controller manufacturer. Served  U.S. Army ADA  6 years Hawk Missiles. Photography Hobby.

this is my first time deleting it so we’ll see how long i can go without needing to install it again haha.

gosh french would be such a difficult one for me. good luck and hope you're having fun with it!

Learning a language is always a better choice. I started with French two weeks ago and loving it so far. Have fun 🥳

i’ve deleted the app but not my account. cant do that to the photo archives i’ve got there. 

let’s see how this change shapes up my long very boring winter lol

I deleted insta a year back and never looked back. I feel good now. can focus on my life and myself. no endless scrolling and thinking how much misrable my life is. lol.

reddit replaced IG for my in 2019-2020 and i broke away from it in 2021 after twitter. 

IG came back into the picture bc i moved away from home in fall 2022 and it was the only place where it felt like i could keep in touch with friends. reels sucked me in and kept me around for 2 years.

not sure what’s next but we fafo

My vice is Reddit. So much human drama on it. Deleted and reinstalled it sooooo many times

honestly would do the same if I wasn't trying to maintain work via IG. I hope it gives you some peace!

Your brain is going to love you after like a month of replacing it with educational/positive content

Keep it up! 🔥 33 $RARE
