I rolled out of bed at 11.00 a.m. yesterday. I’m not sick. I’m not snuggling with the missus. I’m bed rotting.
Sadly, I woke up at 6.30 and then spent the next 4+ hours scrolling my phone. Yes, I really did that. Emails first, then WhatsApp, then Reddit for the news and YouTube for some longform video. That took 1 hour.
I promised myself I’d get up then and get moving. But that didn’t happen. Instead I made a last second decision to open TikTok. And that’s all it took, I lost 4 hours of my day.
Snippets of news. Interviews. Recipes. Dancing videos. Trivia. Nothing important. Nothing useful. Nothing that would change the trajectory of my life. I lost almost half a day in a trance.
TikTok alone does this to me. It completely derails my waking hours. It’s an addiction I’m fighting hard to quit.
