Episode 19: Parasitic Social Media
Do you find yourself starring at your phone for hours each day? Lost in the YouTube algorithm or Instagram comparison cycle? You’re not alone, a lot of people struggle with using Social Media healthily. The thing is, they’re not really designed to be healthy, they’re designed to keep your attention for as long as possible and get as many advertising dollars as possible. To get Your Attention Back you need to take intentional action.
In this episode the humans discuss strategies for reducing social media usage, the logistics of social media detoxes, what good habits to fill your new found time with, and getting up at 4am for some reason. It’s going to be difficult to get past the fear of missing out, but it’s worth it.
Standard Humans is hosted by Aidan Dennehy and Evan.
