I deleted Facebook last year. Don't miss it at all. In the end I recognized how useless it was. Now I'm addicted more to KZfaq though 😒

Well, if you´re having depression, it´s sometimes better to distract yourself than to have time to think too much.

One of my favorite TED talks! This is the kind of talk that I love, it's cutting edge interesting, very informative, and the best part is that it presents something I can actually do and get results-- as opposed to seeing how brilliant people are changing the world whilst I just nod and think to myself, "I could never do that." Thanks, Manoush, for being brilliant and bringing us along with you. Much appreciated!

The best part about this ted talk is that she pointed out some other the problems with technology without saying its all terrible

I deleted social media from my phone years ago, and I’ve worked hard towards my dreams and achieved them. I look back at my peers and they’re still absorbed online. It takes away so much from our lives and we don’t realize it
@nethanvaartstra3789
I literally felt so bored today I ended up searching it up online, and this is where i am.

After watching this video, I wanted to try this practice, because I spend a lot of time behind the phone, not even paying attention to it . I do not always have time to go somewhere and do something because of the fact that I waste time on emptiness, I stopped giving myself and my family enough time, which is very bad. In my opinion,this video is very informative and useful, especially for those who have problems with creativity and boredom. I believe that this program is a good method of combating boredom. For example, if I struggled with boredom,watching TV, sitting in social networks, now I want to change it and do something really useful!
