He spent 16 hours a week on TikTok.

Another 12 hours on Netflix.

3 more hours on games.

By deleting these three apps, he could reclaim 30+ hours of his week.

That’s almost a full work week.

Imagine how much progress he could make with 30 additional hours.

The truth is, I wasn’t surprised by this.

It had happened to me before.

Apps like TikTok and Netflix are engineered to be addictive.

They easily suck you in and never let you go.

And yes, you can delete those apps and claim some more hours.

But if you aren't ruthless with your priorities, you will be an easy target for distractions or somebody else’s priorities.

Tim Ferris said it best: “Lack of time is actually lack of priorities.”

To prevent falling back into old habits and scrolling your life away:

1️⃣ First, define a rewarding and ambitious goal. This will give you clear priorities.

2️⃣ Second, add friction to the bad scrolling habits.

✅ Make bad habits invisible by removing addicting apps.

✅ Make bad habits unattractive by accessing social media via a mobile browser rather than the app.

✅ Make them difficult to access by setting time limits with apps like Opal.

Over time, you will find them less addictive, less accessible, and less attractive.

Hope this helps you see how easy it is to create more time for what matters.

See you next Wednesday?
