It&#x27;s interesting. I thought I didn&#x27;t lose much time to social media because I only used them in &quot;dead&quot; time, e.g. waiting for a train. But I&#x27;ve come to believe this was a mistake in two respects. Firstly, no time is truly &quot;dead&quot;, and there&#x27;s almost always something better I could be doing. Secondly, almost any use of social media trains me to crave more -- it genuinely is addictive, and the unreliability of the novelty (&quot;refreshing in the hope of seeing something new&quot;) makes this all the worse.
