Tips To Help Cut Back On Social Media Usage

By now, there should be minimal doubt as to the mental health benefits that can come from a social media detox. A recent study has found that even one week away from toxic social media can reduce feelings of depression and insomnia. If you’re thinking a social media detox might be good for you, here are a few expert tips that’ll give you a place to start. 

• Remove apps from your home screen
• Disable all automatic notifications
• Logging off all of your accounts (if you have to take the time to log in every time, you might be less prone to do it so much)
• Try using apps that time how long you use them, and cut you off after a certain window 

Of course, you could lock your phone in another room and flush the key down the toilet, too.
