  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Simplicity Limit Social Media
    Social media can keep us connected with loved ones, make us laugh, and help us to learn new things. It can also take more time than we realize or intend to give. After doing this action for a few days, how do you feel? What do you notice?

    After doing this for a week and a half I feel fine I don't feel that I need or want social media any more when I use it less every day or not at all. B ut I do notice that I am picking my phone up a little less each day.

    I would always like to get 9 hours of sleep no matter what but it is scattered sometimes I get more sometimes I get less. I found out that if I go to bed after I shower I usually get the extra 45 minutes or more because I shower at 10
