Minimize, not delete social media

Greetings. I would like to spend less time on social media, but not pull the plug. I feel genuine enjoyment in three categories:

1) intellectual stimulation from smart people 2) humor from funny people 3) minor and major life updates from loved people

So here is the approach I’ve tried for the last two weeks:

A) Facebook: no app, must go through arduous process of logging in on browser.

B) Instagram: cut down “following” list by 80 percent by only keeping accounts that meet one of three categories above. Basically, does this account bring anything to the table? Mandy Moore’s kids are awfully cute, but what value do her daily posts add to my life?

C) Never go to TikTok “for you” page. Never.

D) Twitter: DELETE

So far I am pleased with the results.
