Morning Paper
Similar to how people living before the internet got their daily news from the morning paper or the evening news, pick a particular time of day for guilt-free consumption of news and social media. Then put those apps away for the rest of the day.
Try this for a few days, and see how it affects your daily life.
In your Project Quartz journal, reflect on your experience, and decide if you want to make this an ongoing practice.
