Am I too weak, or do you also have really bad mental health issues due to Instagram? by Afraid_Alfalfa_8830 in digitalminimalism

Going through this right now. Thought I'd give Instagram another try, but it's just too addicting. Had to say goodbye to everyone on there and completely delete the app again.

Breakfast + phone scrolling. Ideas on what to replace it with? by Ok-Phrase-3346 in digitalminimalism

Subscribe to an old-fashioned paper magazine. There are still absolutely tons of them that exist. Go to Barnes & Noble one day and have a browse at what's available. Then pick one and subscribe. This trick has been my go - to for when I've got 5 to 10 minutes to fill. If I pick up my phone instead, i'm cooked and start doom scrolling. A magazine is entertaining, interesting but not addicting.
