50 分钟As I've discussed in prior episodes of this podcast, I have had to take extreme measures to battle my Internet addiction.
By extreme measures, I mean I had to get two phones, one with social media and YouTube, and various addicting apps on it.
And one phone that has none of those apps, only apps that are non addicting, such as the text messages app, such as Spotify, such as the email app, such as the book app, you know, for reading books.
One phone being named the Good Phone, which is the phone that has all the healthy stuff on it.
And one phone being named the bad phone, the one with all the addicting things on it.
The good phone stays with me.
I bring it around with me all the time, 24/7 it's my phone.
And then the other phone, my bad phone, stays home and is used only when absolutely needed.
Like when I need to post something on Instagram or I want to order something on DoorDash because it's an emergency and I need to order something on DoorDash right now or else something bad happens, which is very rare.
If you want to know more about my current Internet addiction management routine, go listen to the episode managing my Internet addiction.
I explain everything.
So for the last two months, I have lived a life sort of Internet free.
I can't say Internet free.
I can't say that.
I don't even know if I can say Internet addiction free because I think it would be naive to say that I no longer have an Internet addiction.
But I almost never doom scroll anymore.
If you don't know what doom scrolling is, you're lying to me.
Yeah you do.
You know what doom scrolling is?
It's when you scroll on TikTok or Instagram for hours and hours and hours and hours and consume hours and hours and hours and hours worth of useless content just because you don't have the self control to turn it off.
