I've uninstalled Fbook, Twitter, Insta, Email - here's why
2 Books I've read that changed my life.
I've just finished reading Atomic Habits and Deep Work by Cal Newport. And I'm partway into reading Digital Minimalism and these are books that are changing my life.
I've uninstalled from my phone:
- Soundcloud
- Quora
- Skype
I now ONLY check email 3x a day
I only POST on Facebook - otherwise my team manage it
I'm also going through a television detox and ONLY watching it with my partner. Alone I won't watch it...
I outline it all here:

I hope this helps some of you guys!
Congrats! I just started reading Atomic Habits as well. I've also had Digital Minimalism on my list for about a year now.
I've considered doing something similar in the past, but I always go back and forth between "building a personal brand" and "heads down focused on building". I think this is why a lot of co-founder relationships work when it's one technical person and one marketing/sales person. It's hard to build a product AND a brand at the same time.
Looking forward to reading your blog post!
Exactly, it's easy to uninstall all the social media apps if you are developer and focusing only on technical stuffs. But if you want to brand yourself or your product it's hard to uninstall all the social media apps. You made a good point about having a co founder.
Totally agree. dopamine detox is underrated.
last year I started by turning off all my push notifications, and this year I did the same as you. delete all social media apps
