Do any of you know how to restrict video content on Instagram? After a long day, I spend way too much time on Instagram and am honestly addicted and use it to procrastinate on sleep and other tasks… I don’t want to delete it because it’s how I message a lot of friends. If you have any strategies to reduce social usage, I’d appreciate it!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I have a second phone that is my “social media phone” its just an old iPhone 12 w/just Wi-Fi now. I put it somewhere random and uninstalled all apps on my main phone. My social media consumption is down to 30 mins a week and a lot of that is just posting my own content. Any old phone would work and if you don't have one lying around I'm sure you could find one for less than $100 to me that cost is easily recouped via the time you get back -use it wisely though :)!

Uninstall. The only thing that works for me. I use it on OC only, and I often forget of Instagrams existence.. The good side of forgetting. You can also use grey colors on your phone, makes it unattractive

Okay so gray colors is a great idea… Instagram and my phone in general feel less stimulating

If you set your IG up as a business profile you can download the IG for business app to still message people but not scroll as much!

This is a huge problem for me too. Definitely addicted and it negatively impacts my life. But it is also one of the few things I enjoy

like

Yeah I feel that… although I feel like I more so enjoy it in the moment i.e., it doesn’t bring me much satisfaction once I stop… Not sure if this is the case for you, but I’m hoping to reallocate time towards hobbies that bring me longer lasting joy like exercising or knitting ha

Hi All,
I have cleared all 3-4 round of interviews in Apisero by 26 Dec. HR also taken all the documents like salary slips etc.

She said offer may take some time due to new year holidays. Now they are saying they have freezed all the new offers.

Is this correct? Apisero is not rolling out any new offers?

The interview process take weeks of time and multiple rounds. So just wanted to know what is the point of all these rounds.

My boss (atty) is so disorganized! I’ve been with him 6 months and he’s having a hard time delegating, sharing info and managing deadlines. I’ve organized the caseload to manage the deadlines. He says he wants me to help with discovery but when I offer to start on one, he says he needs to do it. (Since he might have to present as evidence) When I give him deadlines and ask for the docs he says he’ll get to it. It’s a small 1 man firm, and I’m the first assistant besides his wife. Any advice?

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)

Anyone else have a need to exercise daily? A lot of people judge me in a negative way and in reality it is because my ADHD brain needs it. 1) the consistency for schedule 2) exercise can help tone down the symptoms before I sit down for the work day 3) it is the only thing I can control to make it look like I am not a mess (disorganization, interrupting) - basically trying to stay in the game at work based on perception of “having it together”. Just wondering if anyone faces the challenges.
