Unhook your brain

Youtube, Instagram, Tiktok – they have all hacked your brain. They will feed you content that keeps you engaged. I have three ways to fight back:

  • Don’t go there. I never go to Instagram. In fact, I have blocked it on my DNS.
  • Don’t install the app. Tiktok and Youtube live on an old phone that I don’t carry around with me. I have to go get it, then use it, and then I put it away.
  • Use plugins to cleanse the browser experience. Unhook is a good one for Youtube.

This is my goal: 50% charge by the end of the day. The iPhone is 2.5 years old and has a remaining battery capacity of 83%.
