For me it's Timehop. I'm kinda addicted to it (currently on a 762-day streak) 🙈 What's yours?

@de For me it's definitely Netflix, especially when a new series of my favorite show is out.

@de I'm going for Rick and Morty, again, from a season 1 - as I saw it only twice before :B

Dan Edwards

@de @syswarren No I deleted Timehop so long ago, I'm all about living in the present. That said I consider Instagram a "Guilty Pleasure" because I can't count the time I spend on it productive yet I'm on it soooo much. I love their AI filters 🤓

@de @syswarren same thing! My streak is 393 for today, kinda proud of myself :D

@abadesi if you spend 5 minutes a day on Instagram, it adds up to ~1 day in a year. :D

@de Instagram, hands down. I even use hashtags #imsecretlyateenager...

Lucas Hogendoorn
Using hashtags would kind of make you the opposite of a normal teenager haha

@parth_sh Interesting many others consider Instagram a guilty pleasure, I hadn't even thought of it that way...

@de Twitter. But also Journal One, it's funny to see what was on my mind "n" years ago.

Dan Edwards
@keeev Yeah, same for me with Timehop!

Astha Sharma
@de I'd say Instagram or Snapchat lol trying to spend less time on them though. Soo impressive with Timehop! I would never last more than a few months.

Dan Edwards
@astha_sharma Hah, I never thought I would to be honest!

@de hands down Instagram, anybody has got anyway to beat it's addictive algorithms, please share :)

@de @abdullah_mallak Delete it off your phone until it's not a habit, then when you redownload it (if ever) keep all the notifications off. That has worked for me - I honestly barely even check it now.
Share
Abdullah Al Mallak
@de @dennis2 I have the notifications off for almost a year and a half, it's the habit of scrolling endlessly that I need to overcome. but yea might give the deletion a shot. thanks a lot :)
Share
Dan Edwards
@abdullah_mallak Haha, lots of people saying Instagram!

@de no love for Pinterest?? Have to admit I find it weird that its my go to app when stuck at traffic lights but there you go.
Share
Phillip Martin
Fair enough, I'm guessing your probably more productive with it than I am tbh!! anyway feel better about it now ;)
Share
Dan Edwards
@phillip_martin I love Pinterest, but don't consider it a guilty pleasure (for me at least)!

@de Twitter. Wasting too much time there. Punished by the Flying Spaghetti Monster recently by getting kicked out after a series of unfortunate password errors after my phone got stolen. Starting fresh now maybe it will help me kick the habit a bit.

Dan Edwards
@achi_ram yikes! Do you want to simply spend less time on Twitter or none at all?
