Instagram: How To Not Be Addicted To It

Right now my brain is fried. I reinstalled instagram yesterday.

And I’m not saying that it’s bad or something.

It’s good. But sometimes it just becomes addictive.

Like when I woke up today and sat at my desk to write a blog post.

And I opened instagram instinctively on my phone.

And I just kept scrolling.

I even had my phone volume on mute but still I got sucked into it.

And that’s what I think is the danger.

And I know I shouldn’t try to fight it alone. 

I need to uninstall it and maybe replace this habit with something else.

But nothing’s as satisfying as this when it comes to scrolling.

And I know I need to overcome it.

I sat down to write a blog post but all I’m writing now is a rant against instagram.

I just want to let everyone who is reading this blog post know that-

Please take control of your life and limit instagram usage.

It’s time you concentrate on more useful stuff like upskilling yourself.

Thank you for reading this line! It means a lot.

The Secret: How To Overcome Procrastination

The author writes about his experience with procrastination and how he overcame it. He refers to it as a secret.

I’m not saying that I’m an expert on procrastination. I’m just saying that I have struggled with it a lot my whole life and I have some ideas on how to overcome it.

And I can overcome procrastination through action. Small actions. 

It doesn’t have to be some big action step. It can be a simple act of getting started.

My Story

When I was in class 11, I couldn’t sit down to study. So I avoided it.

But if I had known that I could overcome procrastination with small action steps, I would have started with 5 mins of sitting down to study.

And now I know the secret to overcoming procrastination and I am studying daily. 

But it’s not all rainbows and butterflies. I struggle with other things like commitment issues, trying new things, overthinking, etc.

I need to work on them too.

I’m reading a book called “Atomic Habits” by James Clear and I find it very helpful.

The ideas are practical and I can easily apply it to my life.

Conclusion

So yeah procrastination can be overcome with small imperfect actions.

Thank you for reading this line! It means a lot.
