8:00 a.m.: Woke up by my phone alarm and checked my phone messages and my email before getting up to get ready. I got up and got dressed to go to the gym.
8:30 a.m.: Drove to the gym while listening to my Spotify playlist. I deleted all my social media accounts for the last couple weeks because it was a lot for me and my mental health. I worked out for an hour while listening to Spotify.
9:30 a.m.: I drove home after the gym and I put on my favorite podcast, which is Sabrina Zohar. She has new episodes come out Friday so I decided to listen to calm myself down while I drove home.
10:30 a.m.: I made breakfast with my Family and we sat and talked about everything going on. It was nice to catch up with my family and not be on my phone. We then watched an episode of age of attraction on Netflix.
11:30 am -2 pm: I cleaned and organized my room while watching YouTube videos on my TV in my room.
2-3: went on a walk in my neighborhood well listening to the same podcast I didn’t finish while driving home. It’s been very nice to be off my phone and Exercise more.
4-6 : Watched Zootopia two with my family downstairs on the streaming service Disney+.
6-7: drove to McDonald’s to have dinner and then started getting ready to go to my friends’s 29th birthday party.
8-10: drove to Dave & Buster’s listening to my Spotify playlist and played games with my friends at Dave & Buster’s
11 p.m.: got ready for bed and put on YouTube videos while trying to fall asleep
I know this was a 24 hour media digest, but I decided a couple weeks ago to delete all my social media such as Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and X. I did not realize how much time I was spending on all these social media platforms and taking out my time when I could be hanging out with friends and family. I think too it was an overload of information on all those social media platforms, different news sites and I didn’t know what to trust. Taking a break is very eye-opening how much I spent on my phone. Doing this assignment, I still use a lot of screen time such as TV But it’s been nice not being on my phone as much. I definitely suggest a social media break every once in a while because it was affecting my mental health and now I feel much calmer and less anxiety due to less information coming my way.
