There are a number of <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/dating-apps-in-hong-kong-popular-online-dating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dating apps<\/a> to help us find love (or lust), <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/best-hong-kong-apps-weather-travel-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hong Kong apps<\/a> make navigating the city way easier, and we obsessively follow these <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/vegan-youtube-channels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vegan chefs on YouTube<\/a>. That being said though, screen time, and social media in particular, can all become a bit overwhelming. With many of us on the team here at Honeycombers having fallen victim to excess phone usage, we discussed some ways in which we stop social media from having a negative impact on our mental health. We hope they help.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Monitor your screen time<\/h3>\n<p>Statistics from various resources across the globe say that most of us spend about three hours per day on our phones. Those who are heavy users can find themselves on their device for over five hours per day; now that\u2019s a lot of screen time!<\/p>\n<p>It may sound like a bit of an oxymoron, but there are actually apps that can help you with your app usage. If you want to get your screen time down, then consider installing apps such as <a href=\"https:\/\/freedom.to\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Freedom<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/inthemoment.io\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">In Moment<\/a> that will let you set hours that you can\u2019t access certain apps and set limits on your social media usage.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Take apps off your phone<\/h3>\n<p>This can be a bit tricky, especially when many of us use social media for work on our phones, but if you can, remove social media platforms from your device completely. If you only have access to these services on your laptop, then you\u2019re less likely to be checking them all day, and your day will start being a lot more constructive.<\/p>\n<p>Absolutely can\u2019t get rid of them off your phone? Consider moving Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Tik Tok to a screen beyond the home screen so that you aren\u2019t as tempted to look at them every time you use your phone.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Turn off notifications on your phone<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_214080\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-214080\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/social-media-having-a-negative-impact-on-your-mental-health-turn-off-notifications-900x643.png\" alt=\"phone with notifications\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-214080 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/social-media-having-a-negative-impact-on-your-mental-health-turn-off-notifications-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/social-media-having-a-negative-impact-on-your-mental-health-turn-off-notifications-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/social-media-having-a-negative-impact-on-your-mental-health-turn-off-notifications.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-214080\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Turn off all notifications on your phone<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Is there anything more annoying than notifications on your phone (besides these <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/annoying-social-media-posts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">annoying social media habits<\/a>)?<\/p>\n<p>Turn. Those. Suckers. Off!<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, do you need to know the minute that cousin George comments \u201cnice\u201d on your latest picture? You won\u2019t miss any notifications, as the apps still let you know about them whenever you open them, but at least you won\u2019t be inundated with excess information all day.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Snooze accounts on Facebook<\/h3>\n<p>We are BIG fans of the \u2018snooze\u2019 tool on Facebook. Basically, you can choose to snooze an account for 30 days so that you stop seeing the posts altogether. Then, after the 30 days, the posts will start showing up in your feed again.<\/p>\n<p>To snooze an account, just go to the ellipsis on the top right corner of the post and navigate down to the \u2018snooze\u2019 option. If the posts come back after 30 days and they are still stressing you out or annoying you, then think about unfollowing the account completely.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Unfollow accounts that don\u2019t bring you joy<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t be afraid to go full Marie Kondo on social media\u2019s ass. If an ex is posting pics with their new love and you can\u2019t bear to see it, just unfollow the account. If a news outlet is flooding you with depressing stories, hit that unfollow button. It\u2019s a good idea to go through the accounts you follow at least once a year, and unfollow any that you don\u2019t love hearing from.<\/p>\n<p>Many of us worry about offending people by unfollowing them, but if your life will be easier without their social media spam, then you\u2019ve got to be good to yourself. They probably won\u2019t even notice!<\/p>\n<h3>6. Remove phones (and other devices) from the bedroom<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_214081\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-214081\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/bedroom-love-feng-shui-romance-relationship-e1516091160695-900x643.png\" alt=\"love feng shui bedroom makeover\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-214081 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/bedroom-love-feng-shui-romance-relationship-e1516091160695-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/bedroom-love-feng-shui-romance-relationship-e1516091160695-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/bedroom-love-feng-shui-romance-relationship-e1516091160695.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-214081\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Keep bedrooms for sleep and sweet, sweet love-making<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A wise counsellor once told me that bedrooms should only be for sleep and sex. And this was pre social media boom! One sure-fire way to stop yourself from incessant scrolling is to keep your phone outside the bedroom. A good trick is to invest in an old-school alarm clock, and then your phone won\u2019t be the first thing you wake up to every morning.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Don\u2019t be scared to have a detox period<\/h3>\n<p>Tired of always feeling the FOMO? Delete all your apps from your phone and log-out of them on your other devices. You might want to let people that you interact with regularly about what you are doing so they know how to contact you and to also help hold you accountable to your detox.<\/p>\n<p>Get into a <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/books-to-read-big-fat-list-of-books\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">good book<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/trashy-tv-shows-reality-tv-addictive-television\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TV series<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/best-podcasts-science-fiction-philosophy-feminism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">podcast<\/a>, and try to forget about what\u2019s going on on FB and IG. Truth be told, you\u2019re probably only missing out on a few inspirational quotes and some pics of the kids of a friend you went to primary school with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Living in a digital age can be great for so many reasons.
