2. Why to minimize
• a significant amount of stress and anxiety may be occurred while using
the social media with unlimited time it may finally affect the mental
health and wellbeing
• I’ve weaned myself off social media and am much more intentional
about how and when I use it — and for what purpose.

3. Benefits of a social media detox.
• Greater Self-Awareness
• Social media has often been described as a highlight reel where people only post
about the most picture-perfect and best things about their lives. While competition
can sometimes be healthy, I didn’t find my usage to be fulfilling most of the time on
a personal level.
• That level of self-awareness transferred to other areas of life too, because it helped
me become more cognizant of how time is a limited and precious resource. It helped
me to understand that I had a choice as to how I wanted to spend my time.

4. An Increase
in Time and
Productivity
• What are some of your hobbies? Gardening? Cooking? Walking?
• These activities are much more vital than social media scrolling to while away
the time. For example, cooking a healthy meal ensures that you’re choosing to
nourish your body with quality ingredients, and walking helps you to stay fit. A
healthy body and mind help to support a healthy life
• Cal Newport talks about the sudden stretches of free time that get generated
when we embark on digital minimalism.
• “I’m so bored!” is a constant refrain some individuals make when they can’t
find something interesting on their phone or TV screen to be entertained by.
• I suppose I’m blessed in that sense as I’ve rarely felt bored with restricted
digital screen time.
• To make use of time in a productive way is the antithesis to boredom.

5. Better Ability to Focus
• I don’t own a smartphone at the moment, and I haven’t
downloaded any social media apps onto my iPad.
• This keeps my digital notifications (or interruptions) to a
minimum.
• Focus is something that you need if you want to
concentrate and perform quality work.
• Being intentional with my social media usage helps me to
avoid distractions that take away from tasks I’ve set my
mind to. Instead of feeling frazzled, I’m usually able to
allocate a specific amount of time to complete each task
successfully.

6. Improved Self-Esteem and
Sense of Perspective
• When I wasn’t fully conscious of how I was using social
media, it was all too easy to slip into momentary bouts of
anxiety due to comparisons I’d make of my life with other
people. A peak moment was realizing how our self-esteem
could literally be affected based on the number of ‘likes’ we
were receiving digitally.
• Nowadays, I’m more aware of how social media distorts
reality if people are only sharing the picture perfect moments
of their lives online.
• It helps me to re-focus on competing with myself instead
of others, which is a lot healthier and more constructive in
the long run.

7. Reclaiming
Your Sense
of Self
• Spending less time on social media exponentially increases my quality of life.
• It seems like a simple enough notion — to define life based on what matters
to me. The trouble is that it can become a trickier process when I get caught up
in things that don’t truly nourish my sense of self on a deeper level.
• Cutting down on my social media usage enabled me to revive hobbies such as
journal writing, blogging, and sketching. None of which rely on digital likes
which could be here today and gone tomorrow.
• There is nothing social about a platform when it has a more negative than
positive effect on your health and well-being.
• If you find yourself in a negative spiral quite frequently because of social
media, I hope you try reducing your usage. It’s worth the taste of freedom you’ll
get from reclaiming your life.

8. Facts and figures
• A 2020 study found that a fear of
missing out, known as FOMO, drives
nighttime use of social media, causing
sleep disturbances and sleep
difficulties.

9. Facts and figures
• A 2021 study involving 132 people found
that limiting social media use for a week
improved well-being by preventing sleep
problems. However, the authors note that
adolescents who were already heavily
engaged with social media may have chosen
not to participate in the study because they
were unwilling to reduce their use.

10. Facts and figures
• Another 2021 study found that limiting
adolescents’ internet access before bedtime
prevented sleep problems, but this was more
effective for those who were less engaged
with social media.
