Tips for Living with Social Media

3 Strikes

When scrolling, try closing the app and walking away after three irritating posts. Three strikes, I’m out!

Limits

I set a timer for the period of time of my choice. Or, I might commit to only scrolling past 20 posts, or 10 posts, or however many I deem appropriate for my needs at the moment. I’m better when I’m mindful about my time.

Healthy Scrolling

Here are several pages/people that keep me healthy and happy while scrolling on my socials. I try to visit 5-10 of these each day (unless the three-strikes law thwarts my efforts). I like to think it improves my algorithm, too. I also regularly add to, subtract from, and change up this list:

  • Some facet of the American Choral Directors Association
  • Black and Obsessed with K-Dramas
  • Rhythms of the Village Productions (Altadena, CA)
  • A family member or friend whose political views differ from mine but whose life and work I deeply respect.
  • The Zanaida Stewart Robles Singers
  • Neighborhood UU Church or some other spiritual/religious institution to which I’m connected.
  • Harvard-Westlake School or some other educational institution to which I’m connected.
  • An award-winning performing artist or visual artist 
  • Duolingo
  • An award-winning athlete
  • A family member or friend that I absolutely adore
