Anyone have some really good hardcore tips for a digital detox? It’s an endless loop of knowing that social media and the internet is draining but I still do mindless scrolling to avoid facing reality.

I use a few of the “app-blocking” apps. The main one I set up for Facebook is called ClearSpace.

I stick to the free versions and features, so I actually use a few because they can overlap for more effective blocking.

They add just enough friction to opening social media that I have started to avoid the big time sucking ones (instead I check Fishbowl more often - lol)

Put the phone in a different room.

Find a “replacement activity” that requires being phone-free, like exercising, going to the movies or shows, or cooking.

The goal is to stop resisting the urge, which is too draining. Take the temptation off the table entirely.

There’s a product on the market called “Brick” that may help. FSA/HSA eligible too!

Following! Mine got so bad at one point I almost left my job, opened a coffeeshop with this focus in mind. I have a whole business plan for it and everything hahahaha. Ya girl is constantly overstemmied lol

When I notice myself mindlessly scrolling through content, I just ask myself what practical decisions I would change by watching more of this. That usually grounds me quickly.

Why do women want such expensive engagement rings? Was talking to a few girls I know and they said they expect them to be in the $10k -$15k range. Seems a bit outrageous to me honestly - don’t get it.

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!

New fish looking for career guidance.

I'm a corporate recruiter with 3 years of experience. Finishing my degree in HRM 5/2022. I'm thinking of getting my SHRM -CP shortly after graduation.

I'm not sure of where to go after that, but I doubt I will stick with recruiting or my current firm.

Has anyone here started off in recruiting and branched out to other HR functions? Do you like your new role? Do you wish you stuck with recruiting?

I’m feeling really drained and frustrated with my current role. I like recruiting but it’s getting exhausting. What’s next for me after this? What roles can I look into that are less demanding but still pay well. For context I make around 76k right now and would like to increase that. Am I stuck in recruiting? I currently work for a big name firm. Do you have any company suggestions to look into where recruiting might not be as overwhelming and stressful where it won’t consume my life.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
