Create friction

If you’re struggling with social media, I have found it helpful to delete the app from your phone.

But not everyone is willing to do so.

So, another choice to create friction.

Log out.

Move the app off the home screen.

Require face identification.

Put it in the hidden folder so the temptation isn’t there.

Creating more steps and adding more friction can short-circuit the auto-response to pick up the phone and scroll.
