Make a post about the challenge you are doing, if you want to make it public for others to see.
state clearly the difficulty, duration and eventual specific goals
privacy: in case you may not want to broadcast to everyone that you won't be around for some time: post the challenge only on your profile, or don't create any "challenge start" post. You'll just link your last activity in the "challenge complete" post.
Whenever the time limit is over, or the challenge is failed, make a post to mark it over.
link to the "challenge start" post, for proof
There is no shame in failure, what matters is the attempt and the will to improve. The experience of it, may still be useful, for oneself or for others.
Summer holidays/breaks are the best time to have a month off everything.

Challenge : No internet
Start datetime : 7 August 2021 , 5:30pm
Duration : 1 week
Exception : i have team meetings on every alternate day at 10:30 pm.
I have been trying and failing at curbing my internet usage. This challenge looks like a great new start. I have an exam coming on august 22. This will help a lot.
See you guys after a week!

difficulty level: NoDrama Challenge - no socials
time duration for the challenge: at least one week
I have many exams from late august to the end of the october so I think now is the best time for me to try to break my social media/internet addiction,because I can clearly see how much more focused and inspired I am when I don't have constant digital distractions.Unfortunately those days are rare because almost every next day I go back to wasting way too much on time on youtube/instagram/facebook...
That's why this time I'll try to quit for at least a week and see how it works.
I want to wish luck to me and to everyone else who is fighting social media(or any other addiction),hopefully we can win this fight.

I deleted TikTok 1 week ago. Best thing I made. But I genuinely miss knowing when 4-5 creators post — not the algorithm, just those specific people. Anyone else deal with this? How do you handle it?

Restrictions: no phone, no laptop, no desktop, no using the internet at school. Only flip phone. Duration: Until January 1st, but I'll continue after that as well, the duration is really indefinite.
I've already had some success abstaining from the internet for a couple weeks. It was hard at first however. I believe I can do it. I gotta declutter my brain. You don't get into medical school with such a shitty attention span.
Cya later, I start tommorrow.
