Great ๐
Funny, right before reading this article I was thinking about how I was spending too much time on Instagram. I decided to swap the placement of the mobile app icons of Dev and IG on my phone so that I would have better access to Dev, and more difficult access to IG. Just a subtle change I'm hoping will make me less likely to waste time.
I feel like these are all great ways to improve yourself, to a certain degree. I'm completely burnt out at the end of the day if I replace all my leisure.
Don't get me wrong, I certainly think these are great but you should find a balance that works for yourself.
Yes, it's true. But it's for those who waste their time on social media. Think positive.๐
To be fair, I think it's more fun being a well-rounded person that can enjoy both watching Netflix and learning new things daily. ๐
It's my second post. Sorry if you don't found it useful.๐๐
Don't get me wrong it's great ! I just think there's a bit of a toxic mindset in our field where "wasting" your time through basic activities is seen as bad.
But you make a good point, we can use these moments to do something productive ๐

I think itโs also helpful to look at Netflix and realize how the interface works. After all itโs a digital product/platform that many of us are trying to emulate or get inspiration from.
That's a side-effect of working in front-end engineering. Just like a game designer will question the mechanics of a game they're playing we'll often instinctively do the same for UIs.
Then again it's also healthy to disconnect from that world from time to time and enjoy Netflix for what it is: an entertainment platform, otherwise we'll become burnt out.
Yes, it's true. But it's for those who waste their time on social media. Think positive.๐
You also mention music and videos tho, doesn't it include more people than Facebook users?
Yeah ! I will take my post back(no). It's just your way to think.๐๐
Yes, we should also enjoy music and videos. But not more than a limit. That's my thinking.

Toss a coin to your witcher after watching The Witcher.
