Critique Your Social Media Habits Honestly
You feel vaguely bad about your scrolling but never look at it squarely. This walks you through an honest critique: when and why you open the apps, whether you are creating or just consuming, how it leaves you feeling, and where it earns its place. You swap vague guilt for conscious choices about what stays and what goes.
<context> You want to examine your social media use with genuine honesty rather than vague guilt, and to make conscious choices about it rather than being on autopilot. </context> <task> **Critique your social media habits across four dimensions:** 1. Usage patterns: when do you use social media, for how long, and what triggers the opening of the apps? 2. Ratio of input to output: are you mainly consuming or also creating and connecting? What does that ratio reveal? 3. Emotional impact: what emotional state do you tend to be in before and after each session? Is social media reliably making you feel better, worse, or neutral? 4. Opportunity cost: what are you not doing in the time you spend on social media, and does that trade-off feel acceptable on reflection? </task> <output_format> - A critique of each dimension with honest observations - One specific change to test for two weeks, with a success criterion </output_format>
