Technology is also claiming to be the solution. - There is a very simple solution. Just log out. - The act of logging out (and in) creates mild friction. It’s a mindfulness practice around intentionality. - The default state of your phone should be “logged out”. - Logging out is a much easier and approachable solution than removing apps or accounts all together. - [[Unconscious impulse only survives in zero-friction environments]]. - “[[Eat all the junk food you want, as long as you cook it yourself]]”. - [[Bad habits are born out of convenience]]. - “[[Sometimes success is less about making good habits easy and more about making bad habits hard]]”. - James Clear. - Maybe you don't actually need to check Twitter.
