Nearing the end

Three days left. I wasn’t really sure how I’d feel after this month. Would it be totally eye opening?  Not such a big deal?  What kind of things would I notice?  Would I miss it?  

I think it was eye opening. I realized what a crutch my phone and social media had become. It was my default. I couldn’t focus on work or watching tv or anything without also checking my phone. On breaks, during commercials, etc. I find after this month, I’m less inclined to pick up my phone while watching tv. I definitely don’t need it open during work. I’m much more focused although I did spend a bit more time on a message board I frequent just for some connection to people but that board is so so much better than Facebook. 

I said before but I really do feel like I am sleeping better at night so I’m definitely going to continue not using my phone before bed. I’m going to continue not having Facebook open during work. I think I will limit my time on Facebook to 15 or 30 min a day. I am not sure what to do about tik tok. It is fun and entertaining. I might limit that to just 15 min a day. That one can be a time suck for sure and I don’t want to always have my face be in my phone. I’m staying off twitter I think. Maybe just follow the middle school - they’re the only ones that post there. I think my social media use will just be much more intentional moving forward and much more limited. It’s a place I’m happy to have gotten.

Finished February Challenge - just 8 days late

 I finally got through all the Black History Month topics on the Discover Our Glory page.  I learned a lot - about events, people, and movements I was either fully unaware of or had heard about in passing, but definitely didn't know as much as about as I should have.  I'm really glad I did this and hope to review it each year and add more to the list and to my knowledge.   Black History Month

Almost to the end

 I can't believe it's almost the end of the month.  This has definitely been a good break for me.  It's gotten to the point where I don't really think about it (meaning Facebook) -which I was in the beginning, more than I was happy with.  Now I'll think about it when I'm sitting watching tv or when I don't have much to do - just like, I want to do some mindless scrolling.  I'll get that urge to check it and I normally would have, but now instead, I'll check the news, or just put my phone down and really watch tv without any other distraction.  I feel like not looking at it right before bed has been really good for me.  I feel like I've slept better, but man I've also been having crazy dreams!  Maybe I'm having more deep sleep?  I have no idea what that means.  Overall, I think I'll go back to Facebook, but maybe unfollow some people to keep it limited.  I'll continue to not look at it at night and also at work.  It was a huge d...

February Challenge

 For the month of February, my challenge was to learn some piece of Black History each day. I was not good about it. Turns out adding something like that to your day is very easy to procrastinate on. 😕 I’m not proud of it it and I am catching up. I have a few more topics to search up and learn about but I am determined to finish up. This is important to me and I want to keep to my challenge that made to myself. Must try better with my other challenges!!
