▲ 3 r/ADHD

Or just generally how do you limit or reduce your screen-time on devices? Obviously social media is designed to be addictive, especially with algorithm's tailoring to your interests or exposing you to inflammatory stuff. However, I feel like it has gotten to a point that I feel like I may be sinking a wee bit too much time to these platforms.

For further context, I have unmedicated ADHD and it's so hard for me to form habits or hobbies. I'm thinking that may be I should spend time finding/trying hobbies than sinking time on my phone on something. I've tried quitting some social media platforms but it just seems like a new or old one would just go back for my screentime consumption. Like, first it was YouTube; then Tiktok & YouTube; then Tiktok only; then Tiktok, YouTube, and Reddit; then YouTube and Reddit. If you look at my karma count here, it's highkey looking like I'm on chronically online territory. Additionally, I've gotten so fatigued with the unsavory stuff the algorithm has been recommending on my feed... just very negative and bad stuff - and I wanna let go of those. I'm unfortunately very prone to constant doomscrolling and I hate that.

So, how do y'all do it? Also, tips for managing general unmedicated ADHD will also be appreciated!!
