Ever feel like you’re dating five needy people at once… except they’re named Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Pinterest? Yeah. No wonder you’re exhausted.
In this episode, I share a surprisingly fun way to break your compulsive “open-close-open-close” scrolling habit called Social Media Speed Dating. It’s not about quitting everything cold turkey, it’s about finding the one social media app that’s actually worth your time, attention, and spiritual energy.
You’ll learn:
- Why hopping between platforms creates a mental hangover called attention residue
- The social media habit loop that keeps you coming back for “just one more scroll”
- The 7-Day Single Platform Challenge to reset your habits and restore your peace
- Three simple rules to evaluate which platforms deserve your attention
- How to break up with apps that drain you
If you’ve ever wanted a lighter, saner relationship with your phone, this is your permission slip to stop playing the field and finally commit to something better.
