I notice when I do it. Waiting rooms, boring conversations I'm present for but not included in, when the dishes are staring at me 😅

I think I'm going to be more aware of it now 🫂
🫂 its a worthwhile endeavor. I feel a lot less guilty about wasting some time when I can acknowledge it & weigh my justifications against the alternatives in that moment.
I guess the only time I might have a problem with it is if I am using it as a substitute for something more productive (which happens often tbh)
But there have been tangible benefits to the time I have spent on nostr. I can't say that for any other social media really.
That's not too bad. I give myself a pass on productivity if I've already been fairly busy & nothing is urgent. My bad one is the social settings. I'm quiet anyway so I tend to get looped out of conversations easily. Once I try to say something & get passed over, I'm on my phone scrolling to keep myself out of it so I don't get frustrated. 😂 Nostr is definitely different. It's not so much of a passive activity so I have to stay off when I'm around people.
Sounds like you have a lot of self awareness. Painful sometimes isn't it? 😅
I've been ruthlessly cutting back on the things I use to distract myself, but if I do that long enough I'll find myself meditating on a mountain...so there's a balance to be found for sure.
😂 painful is a good word for it.
Less distraction is one of my main focuses currently too. I suppose that's probably why your note resonated with me. I hope you end up on that mountain. The distractions will still be here when you get back. 😁
