I deleted my Facebook and Instagram accounts and found that my brain had built in pathways to spend time on social media, but after a couple of days, the habit subsided, and I was able to regain control over my time. I've been using the extra time to read more, take care of tasks around the house, and focus on work, which has improved my productivity. The benefits of deleting these apps have outweighed the losses, including missing certain features like Facebook Marketplace and funny posts. I encourage others to consider deleting their social media accounts or taking a break from them, even if it's just for a short period, as alternatives are available to help manage notifications and distractions.
