This forum and community is absolutely amazing and without it, I probably wouldn’t be where I am right now.
But at some point, I got dependent on the forum. I checked it all the time, read every topic and opened it just to scroll through even if no new entries where made.
From reading some topics I saw that this is a problem I shared with many people.
If you have the same problem, this could help you.
I never wanted to uninstall the app since it is too amazing. I just needed a break.
What I did is to mute all topics. This means, that you won’t see any new entries except the ones you are following (example the ones you started). Like that, you know that nothing new will pop up if you open the app. But you can still write your diary and do the stuff you really wanna do here.
To do that, click on your Logo in the top right -> preferences -> categories -> add all categories to the muted section.
Once you feel that you reduced your urge to check the app, you can just undo all that and you will see all topics again
one month ago, it wouldn’t have been possible. I mean, I have the 365 consecutive days back .
During the last month I really only came online every now and again to check if there is something I have to do as a mod.
But I dare everyone else to take this challenge too. If it is easy → perfect, use the forum as you did before. If not → take a break. Doesn’t mean that you have to delete everything. Just take a break and come back
