In this challenge, I somehow survived. I successfully did not use Google and Facebook products. At first, I struggled because I usually checked my email, but I told myself not to. Now, I accumulated more than 165 emails. I’m surprised I did not check them at all because everytime that I see that 165 emails, I have this itch that I need to scratch. In terms of social media, I mostly use instagram to see what’s new with my friends or what’s trending. Everytime I see the notifications from Instagram, I have this urge to open it. Instead of clicking on it, I dropped my phone and did something else. It was stressful at first, but I adapted the next day. Instead of wasting my time scrolling on Instagram, I wasted my time in the game PUBG. I became more focused on my homework. I have more time to sleep and work out. I have time to make myself some food. This challenge helps me realize that the online world is depriving me from enjoying my time in the real world. It helped me focus on my priorities.
