Set a timer on your watch or phone to limit the amount of time you spend on social media. Your iPhone has the capability in the ‘screen time’ settings to set a hard and fast limit, and while you can work around it, it will prompt you to rethink whether or not you really want to be on Twitter. Choose a limit depending on the severity of your social media dependence — say an hour a day, which equates to seven hours per week — and whenever you check your accounts, start your timer going. When you reach your limit, be strong and don't be tempted to add on extra time. This will be a strong test of your willpower, but it will be worth it in the end.
