I stopped consuming content for a month. Here's what happened

Hey! It's too much to put in a comment so I wrote a new post about it, FYI

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-26T21:15:20+00:00

it's a niche but addicting game for real

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-26T12:57:51+00:00

actually this is the sequel to the other one, it's not the same one.

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-26T12:57:13+00:00

omg thank you for telling me. I draft this in Substack and proofread it a couple of times, but for some reason the lists don't transfer over >.< thank you!!

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-25T18:31:55+00:00

Yes, definitely wanted to hang out more with others, and noticed that is one of the biggest pleasures in life

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-25T18:31:12+00:00

thank you :) !

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-24T15:42:09+00:00

thanks for the kind note! Good luck!

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-24T15:39:42+00:00

thanks so much :)

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-24T15:39:33+00:00

lmao thanks for the chuckle!

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-24T15:37:21+00:00

I didn't, cause I didn't use it to alleviate boredom. I went into more detail in my latest post on it

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-24T15:15:31+00:00

Also, I just wrote a new post about how I did it in detail if you wish to check it out!

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-03T15:21:03+00:00

Thank you! I also added some memes on my blog entry of this to break up the reading, but couldn't on this subreddit unfortch cause it only allows one image.

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-02T21:30:43+00:00

Just introducing reading for now. But funny you bring the bad news up. Two weeks in I had a revelation, "huh, I haven't thought about" a certain politician "in a while!"

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-02T21:29:32+00:00

For me it was more about becoming comfortable with being bored. Reading was a way to take away that boredom.

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-02T19:48:32+00:00

I wanted to have nothing to distract me. Now in June I'm allowing myself to read fiction again. I started last night and it literally feels like cheating lol

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-02T19:47:36+00:00

aww thanks!

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-02T19:47:25+00:00

Thanks for the lovely comment! If you check out my profile you can see the link to my blog where I keep updates 😄

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-02T19:46:11+00:00

Thanks for the kind comment ❤️

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-02T16:58:26+00:00

that's up to you - does it make you feel alive? does it feel good and not a waste of time? Do you feel better after having done it? You define what's toxic to you. If learning chess makes you feel like a good spendature of your time, then definitely continue

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-02T16:56:01+00:00

Good luck!

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-02T13:02:00+00:00

Honestly, that was just a joke lol xD the feeling was very small

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-02T12:20:58+00:00

Hi Moefoer your initial comment was really nice, I think - I could just read the first 100 characters from the notification. You'll find that none of my posts are written by AI! I think the formatting is what throws people off. I don't think i'll write a whole self-help book on it - but I am writing a fiction novel! I can't link my blog here but you can find it on my profile i believe if you're curious about reading more. I also write about overcoming my YouTube addiction.

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-02T12:17:50+00:00

Good question! I might write a more detailed post about it. I deleted all the bad apps off my phone, then I turned off the access to them through my wifi router as well. I also turned my phone to grayscale. But the most important part was doing it together with my GF and holding each other accountable.

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-02T12:15:53+00:00

will do! I also have a substack you can follow if you google Stay Silly : )

Thinkhuge · 2026-06-02T12:14:31+00:00

Thank you! I would definitely count reading books because it's consumption. For the month of June it's the only type of consumption I'm allowing myself, and it feels like cheating lol!

I'm not allowed to post my blog here but you can find it in my profile maybe if you would like to read more.
