So I’ve watched half of the social dilemma and I’ve already decided that I do not want myself to be manipulated. I do realize that I am already being manipulated and I do not like it. I believe there are steps that I can do to make it happen so that I can focus myself on other more important things of my life. For example, make money and focus on learning computer science.
When there is no product, we are the product.
This is rather scary and true. And I want to keep it here to remind myself about this scary fact so that I can scare the shit out of myself and stop being Hooked.
My plan goes like this:
- Quit Social Media one by one
- Plan my time carefully and only spend certain time of the day to check my emails
- Turn off notifications. All of them. They can wait, trust me. They can wait.
I will come back and provide more update on this progress. I’m not sure if this will work but I’m dedicated to making it happen.
