It’s been two days since I deleted Instagram and TikTok from my phone, and the adjustment has been interesting. Immediately, I noticed a significant gain in time at the end of my day. Yesterday, for example, I got home from work, went to the market to buy a few things, came back, made a nice dinner, and still had time left. Before, I would come home and sit catatonic on the couch for hours, resting my body and exhausting my mind.

But I’m missing it. The feeling that I’m missing out on something is constant. It feels like my brain is begging for stimulation, like an addict craving heroin or something similar.

In the end, I think the result has been positive. The next step in this process of reclaiming my productive life is to finish some of the courses I started in recent months but never completed.

I urgently need to finish things, even if the initial excitement that made me start has already faded away.
