Shying away from SOCMED

Good Saturday morning to us all. How is everyone?
My two mobile phones are battery-drained. I often use one after the other to browse on social media and now, both are drained. This is a problem with me: once I get hooked on one topic, I crave for more.
Like one Filipina actress having memes made by some netizens- it makes me laugh alone like crazy.
I think it is an advantage having both phones drained so I can focus on mylotting today. I still have not yet reached the minimum threshold since January, and I plan to do it now.
I have switched off the phones, and I am charging one. When this is fully recharged, I will charge the other one. I will switch off the WiFi in my phones as well, or mute these social media except the messenger where I can get updates from our clinical coordinator.
Do you have to switch off or log out of your social media account when you have prior activities to handle? I am doing it right now.

i am almost always inactive on FB, but my phone usually flashes notifications like birthdays, and that is when i post my greetings to the birthday celebrator. i am on YouTube watching posts, news, TV series, and games. last night, i was quietly laughing while watching bloopers from Wimbledon open.

Somehow, i get "umay" in doing fb. I only open it when i reach hime and give myself only 30 minutes. I also allot about 30 minutes for myLot at night.
You maintain two mobile phones. So, you always bring the two at work? Your bag seem as heavy as my bag, though I only maintain one mobile phone.
