We’re almost halfway through the month and I have not set my new digital rules yet! These rules are based on my performance and pitfalls of last month.
- Every night I will block Instagram via strict mode option on Appblock for Andorid to protect my morning routine. I can use it after, for 10 minutes to post stuff I already created/captured. Morning inspiration is part of what I like to do especially promoting waking up early.
- I will only check Instagram after kids go to bed. I still check it at 8:30pm most days but what happens is that kids are sometimes still not asleep by then, and I get so excited to reply and engage that their bedtime drags even more.
- I will recommit to Instagram’s 1-hour limit.
- If I have an important conversation going in DMs, I either apologize and say I’d respond later or take it to web version on my laptop.
- I will block Gmail web version completely on my phone.
I will report back here at the beginning of May and fine-tune where necessary.
