I resonate with so many of your thoughts here! I've taken the social media apps off my phone for periods of time, and I experience the same thing–I end up replacing social media scrolling for something else.
I'm noticing this as I feel more drawn to Substack as well. I love the content here, but I don't want to fill every in-between moment of my day with input and noise–even when it's good content.
I love this entire series, and thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience! It's something I'm continuing to wrestle with, as I know many are, and I love hearing what works for other people.
I feel like I could have written this myself- I relate to so much (as in, everything) to your experience. Removing social media apps from my phone hasn’t solved all my distraction problems, but rather revealed some deeper issues in my heart.
Sarah I am *so* into this series — knowledge FOMO is such a great term and I 100% relate to that when I’ve taken long breaks. I’m still hanging out on IG but last year I deleted the app a total of something like 32ish weeks. It’s still a useful tool for me, work-wise, but I no doubt will be following in your shoes eventually!
Hiiiiiiiii friend! I thought of you a ton while writing this series, actually! I have always loved reading your thoughts on Instagram and admired your approach to using it over the years. Thank you so much for coming here to read and comment!

Glad I'm not alone. :) Thank you!
