Do you spend too much time on your phone? I certainly do ๐Ÿ˜“

I'm building a mobile app to help us spend less time on our phones and I'm looking for volunteers for some user research calls. Please drop me a message if you're willing to help.

It will help towards building a low cost solution that's accessible to all #digitaldetox #doomscrooling #userresearch #mastodaoine

From the article: "Doom scrolling can be dangerous to our mental health as it reinforces negative thoughts and feelings. It can worsen existing mental illnesses such as anxiety or depression and increase panic and worry.

"Furthermore, doom scrolling can lead to irritability, lack of productivity, poor concentration and mental fatigue which can further have a detrimental effect on a personโ€™s overall sense of well-being."

I've cut down on #doomscrooling on the #birdapp, which was definitely affecting my mental health. Now I have to work on my list of countless other things that wreck my mental state.
