Deep dives

Disconnect between desired routine and actual time spent

Many people experience a disconnect between what they want in their daily routine and how they actually spend their time. This discrepancy often begins years before, as seen in the author's experience when Facebook was first launched and felt like an exclusive club for cool kids. However, over the years, social media platforms became accessible to everyone, leading to addiction and decreased productivity. The author has experimented with social media detoxes and found that his life improved significantly during these periods. This raises the question of whether people truly want this social media addiction in their daily routine.
