I’m not one for New Year’s resolutions, however within the first minute of 2023, I deleted each social media app from my phone (I then spent the following 5 minutes resisting the urge to obtain instagram and publish footage of fireworks). It’s been a very long time coming: for the previous couple of months I had carried out timers on my phone that blocked social media from 9 to five, hoping to curtail my scrolling. But these timers and blockers quickly grew to become simply one other simple barrier to dismiss once I was bored. I wanted a tough reset. I wanted to get reacclimated to being misplaced (and bored) in my very own ideas once more.
