Ask HN: How do you avoid dopamine addiction on social media?
After posting on social media, I found myself refreshing my notifications quite often. Do you know that feeling? If so, how do you overcome it?
What works quite well for me:
- An app that blocks distracting sites (I'm using Freedom)
- Change that pattern by changing my habits (e.g. excluding my phone from the morning routine)
Edit: A complete deletion is not really an option since I enjoy Twitter, Reddit, HN to stay up-to-date with the tech world :)
