Day 7: Hari Tanpa Social Media

Day 7

28 April 2021

It's supposed to be the last day without social media, unless otherwise decided then it'll be extended for the other seven days ahead. 

What I'm getting from this experiment is that I'm glad I'm just fine without social media. No Instagram, no Facebook, no Twitter, no WhatsApp story, no YouTube, no e-commerce check, no news apps. No buzz no fuzz in my mind. There's less excuse for me to stay awake late l because I'm in the middle of following all the details about something. My brain is not fulled with all the shits that I'm not supposed to have. It's just way less crowded which is good. 

I unsubscribed total of 52 subscription (two more today), and my email is now let's say, clean enough. Maybe it doesn't seem important for now, but at least, I will not waste space for more redundancy.  

Maybe some of you is okay with social media, you spend relatively normal minutes checking your phone. But you should consider taking this kind of experiment so you'll see how cool you are without them. 

Or maybe for those having problems with mobile games or whatever you call it, you can try. Maybe you won't realize you open the apps but then you remember, then slowly you'll know when you open it. Meaning that it's not programmed in your mind. Give your brain some space for not giving a shit on those you actually can just skip. 

Maybe it's not social media or games, maybe it's just the devices so let's just change the smartphone with the more basic feature phone. But then, you'll find out sometimes you check the phone and play the basic games in the basic phone. I mean, it's not about device or apps in it, it's about the user who's using it. 

Am I really gonna log back into my account tomorrow?

Day 6: Hari Tanpa Social Media

Day 6

27 April 2021, 

I'm not sure if I'm going to log back into my accounts on 29 April. I pretty much enjoy my time without social media. Beneran. On practical level, should my friends or some people want to contact me, they can reach me through WhatsApp, text me or simply call me or send me some e-mail, that's all. 

Maybe I can watch TV sometimes or reading news , tune into radio, some really basic things that will not potentially overwhelm me with things that I actually do not need to know. 

So you're going conservative? No. Because my mind is not.

I can spend much time to read books without significant distractions, edit some photos, cook some shit that I like. I need not scroll up and down, slide and swipe and put my face against screen.

But, let's see what I'll decide tomorrow.

Day 5: Hari Tanpa Social Media

Day 5

26 April 2021

It's Monday and nothing much happened today. Sepertinya aku sudah mulai terbiasa tanpa social media. Anyway tadi aku unsubscribe 2 lagi, so totalnya 50 subscription! Unbelievable like damnit!

What makes me wonder is siapa pemenang Oscar tahun ini. Haha. Aku gak tahu, or maybe I'll find out on 29 April when I'm back online, only if goes along the schedule. 

Tidak ada topik yang bisa dibagi saat ini. Mungkin besok. I'm just gonna enjoy my day.
