#entertainingmedia — Public Fediverse posts

Will I be able to avoid Mastodon for a whole week?

Bets are open! 🎲

The last weeks I figured out that I often didn't check off the tasks I planed for a day and after checking my tracker*, I figured out that I am using #Mastodon longer and longer.

In general I don't get #addicted to social media and even help others to get rid of it or reduce it. I fight #entertainingmedia and even wrote articles about it in a blog series called #cleandopamine (https://utopify.org/clean-dopamine-journey-to-the-good-happiness-bringers.html)

But now it looks like, I lost control!

And as a #punishment I will block Mastodon on all of my devices and go #coldturkey for a week.

I will comment on this #poll as soon as I am back. So I hope it will be next Saturday 🙂

Let's do this 💪

* = I've coded my own #tracker years ago, which is simple to activate. After I sit down in front of my PC, I hit a key combination, choose an activity and a timer starts, which is shown in the status bar and after I stop the time, it gets added into a database (The starting process is done in 2 seconds, try this on a smartphone...).

I do this for years to see, which activity needed the most time, how long I worked on important projects and where I wasted time.

Currently the numbers for #socialmedia are too high!
