I noticed I don't post on here half as much as the I do centralised algo apps. I couldn't figure out why.

And now I know why.. I pick my phone up, doom scroll, then 20/30 minutes later I'll put my phone down. Within about 30 seconds the centralised algo app will buzz me with a notification to say "You might like this from Karen"

So my stupid monkey brain is intrigued. Picks the phone up again (like it's a banana) and I'm not even interested in what Karen is doing. I notice 'Tony' has a new role at work and click on his page with my monkey paw. Then suddenly an hour has gone by. I notice an article, I'll read that. It was rubbish (most of the time) - I'm frustrated.

But keep going back.

And I've not even thought about Nostr once, even though I think I know it's value - it represents what i think i represent - freedom, self sovereignty, Bitcoin etc.

I'll sometimes even flick through the other centralised algo apps before I put my phone down and not once go through my Nostr feed, even though I love it.

The other apps are like crack (i imagine). But the crack is not even good. And I keep chasing the cheap dopamine hits from them. Like a social media junkie.

I've quit so many things before, like smoking and drinking. Toxic women. Shitcoins. Social Media is one thing I truly struggle with.

So I'm going to wein myself off it - one day at a time. I read somewhere that it takes 3 weeks to form a new habbit.

Or 21 days.

So here it goes #21daysOfNostr

Posting everyday. 🫡🧡

Remove the alcohol from your house. Delete the apps.

Make it easy to do the good thing.

Make it hard to do the bad thing.

Set your future self up for success. Make it as hard as you can for your lower animal self to get what it wants.

(All within reason of course.)
