Device and app usage patterns have been on my mind a lot lately. I've been specifically 
looking at my own habits and compulsions to hit the social media apps and I haven't been 
liking what I'm seeing. These companies are very good at getting us addicted and I'm certainly 
no exception. One of the reasons I joined tilde.club was to help break this cycle. My goal is 
to reach for the terminal every time I feel the urge to doom scroll.

I've also removed most of the social media apps from my phone. Going cold turkey was a recipe 
for disaster so I've logged into everything inside of Brave (my Android browser of choice). 
This has the positive side effect of throwing up another small barrier for me to double check 
myself on what I'm spending my time on. So far it's working.
