Not that great, honestly. I think that I’m going to have to pretty much keep all iterations of Twitter or Tweetdeck or whatever off of my mobile devices. That does help a lot. The real problem is that I can’t delete Twitter itself from the Internet. What I’m going to try to do today is regularize and time my logins. Jump in, log in, check stuff for updates, probably block a few trolls, then log out again. That might help the cravings.
At least, I hope that it does. The alternative is to simply cancel my Twitter account, and I kind of need it for work. Which is possibly the largest complication of all: it’s like having a job that requires you to take regular sticks of morphine. Get off the stuff, and your productivity suffers. Which may be why more of my professional colleagues aren’t really even aware just how addicted we all are.
I found texting to be remarkably un-cluttering. Of course, the people I actually care keep contact with already either have my number, or have access to someone who does.

Maybe something based on the Pomodoro technique? http://pomodorotechnique.com/
Hmm. This Twitter addiction may explain a lot of things.
Without looking – what was the incident everyone was tearing their hair out over on February 15, 2016?
I unfollowed anybody I might be tempted to interact with. Without interaction, Twitter gets boring for all those involved.
Ditto. Trying to get back into commenting at blogs, too. I like the interaction. Twitter was one stop. Now back to basics.
