In the past few weeks, I have been thinking about my social media usage and my decision-making. It's somehow influenced my day-to-day decision by social media.

For example,

For the past few years, I want to work remotely. I realize now it was because of the influence of people I follow on Twitter. (Like DHH, levels.io, etc...)

In the past few weeks/months, I have been buying some alt crypto that I did not really explore or learn their fundamentals. And I realize it's because of people I follow on Twitter. (Note: I am here to show an example, not to blame them)

I can continue the example lists. Some of them are good and some of them are really bad. I feel like the people I follow are who am I.

I have been exploring this on the internet and most people suggest not to use social media or spend less time on social media. For some amount of time, it's okay. But, later after a while, I get back to my normal social media usage and become addicted. Later it becomes normal. And the cycle keeps going on.

My question is, how do you break this cycle?
