Free Your Mind from Digital Tyranny

A 15 step blueprint to rewire your digital habits and touch more grass.

So you’ve tried abstaining from mindlessly scrolling Twitter (or X) and other social media apps but when you look at your screen time, you’re still startled by how much of your time is wasted consuming content.

Most people think that time is their most valuable asset, but an asset is something you have control of, which is not the case for time. An example of this is when you work for someone, you are getting paid for your attention and focus on that job, which is measured by time.

Because time belongs to God, we can make efforts to control our focus within the limited time that God has blessed us with. So here’s a 15 step blueprint that I wrote to help you reclaim your most valuable asset - your attention. I honestly believe that being conscious to just how psychologically manipulating these social media platforms are, is one of the biggest red pills.

Of all the redpills I’ve dropped on Twitter, this is the one that people are least willing to confront, because it means recognizing that they are likely subject to being socially engineered in the present moment.

But if you’ve been following my work lately, you’re familiar with this reality and probably not afraid to confront it head on. So first, let’s determine if detoxing from social media will be necessary for you.

Review this series of questions and if you say yes to most of them, you’ll want to continue reading.

• Do you think about social media when you’re not using it?

• Do you use social media apps with no direction or purpose?

• Will you stop something you’re doing to check your phone?

• Do you lose track of time while scrolling?

• Do you feel anxious at the thought of not being able to access social media?

• Have you tried reducing your social media usage but haven’t had success?

• Do you use the internet to feel better when you are distressed, depressed or anxious?

• Have you given up important social activities because of your internet use?

If you answered yes to most of those questions, you’re not alone. The reason I’m writing this is because I believe most of us who are “overly online” struggle with this problem. It’s not so much that being online for long hours is bad, it’s a matter of being more intentional about your focus and not wasting it away consuming memes and doomscrolling.

Here is a 15 step blueprint you can follow that will at least equip you with applicable strategies you can start applying today.
