Trying this now

When Instagram went down I took it as a sign that I should delete it and see if I could last a week. I have so much time back in my day, only really miss one cat account 🐱

Get an iPad and put the apps there. Then delete said apps from your phone. Not so easy to carry an iPad around in your pocket. Keep Messenger and Facebook Local on your phone, those are more utilitarian. If you want to post a pic or video to Instagram, just do it later. You can do this by snapping a regular photo or vid on your phone, then later when you get home you can Airdrop it to your iPad to upload. The extra steps prevent you from doing it compulsively.

I’m going to go out in a limb here and say most of these comments are indicative of a “what people do is very different than what they say” - would love to see some of the commenters streaming logs, screen time report and browser history (not *all* of it) - OP asked for some advice, not a character assessment full of assumptions.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
