i finally stopped doomscrolling (without buying anything new)

Описание: I was starting to doubt this day would come lol

y'all, I feel like I somehow cracked a secret code!! I wish I had discovered this app earlier but there's really no time like the present. I did some math and it's saved me somewhere between 546-728 HOURS over the last 182 days (~3-4 hours per day scrolling on apps like Instagram or YouTube or Pinterest). It adds up to 30 whole days of just scrolling. Imagine scrolling 24/7 for one whole month without eating or sleeping or using the bathroom.

Absolutely bananas really

Anyway I know a lot of us have been searching for ways to escape the scroll or reduce our screentime and this has been extremely helpful for me so I thought I'd share.
