I started a new experiment with my new “one sec” Shortcuts Automation app: it enforces to take a deep breath before opening social media. After two weeks of use, my screen time is down by more than 40%: But how does it work?

This is very interesting. In @MKBHD ’s latest iPhone 15 Pro review he said he has not experienced any overheating other than when using Instagram and listening to music. Is this whole iPhone 15 Pro overheating fiasco just because of Instagram? 🤔

I didn't know @one_sec_app has a browser extension. some of you might find this useful. if you can't control yourself it can remind you or prevent you from accessing a website.

The real reason why we added the link between @structured_app and one sec: we don’t want you to hustle 24/7 – take intentional breaks that actually help to recover! Your ability to focus, your creative energy, your emotional/social energy – won’t come back from scrolling!

Why not tackle what you want to do after scrolling on social media right away? And if you’re here to take a break: put your phone away and take a proper break, scrolling on Twitter doesn’t help at all!

@vidhunnan @bhargavk_ @vensykrishna I agree! And that’s why I made one sec. There are some positive aspects of all these apps (Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, etc), that’s why we started using them in the first place! It’s all about the balance: using the apps intentionally, with a clear purpose.

hilariously, it's almost impossible to AI-generate someone tossing a smartphone. my guess: dall-e is trained with so many images of people holding phones that it probably thinks it's part of the body, i.e. like asking for an image of someone tossing their own hand
