Just wanted to let y'all know I'm not going to be very active on ILF for the foreseeable future. You might catch me in BST every once in a while, but...
Recently I've noticed that I'm using ILF and social media in general as a means procrastination. Gonna go cold turkey on the lot of it to see how my productivity changes.
I know peeps sometimes worry when I regular stops posting, so I figured I'd let y'all know.

It's unfair to group-in ILF with the rest of social media. Far fewer philistines, charlatans & poachers around these parts.
But it's good to wander off and do some other shit from time to time. Have fun, m8

100% this. I can still procrastinate quite a bit on here, but I don't consider it a time-waster. Worthwhile conversations. Stuff to learn. Boner talk.

Same. Three months Facebook free and my life is better for it.
It really is a weird feeling to realize how much time and emotional energy you can waste on FB. Especially lately, my feed is just full of people freaking out about Trump (and rightly so), yet not really doing anything about it aside from reposting articles. Beyond that, there's the constant measuring oneself against what other people are doing, and how that relates to "where should I be at this point in my life?" 1. No time for that shit, and besides, 2. most of the things people post on social media are carefully edited projections of how they want their lives to appear.

This won't help. You said you are using social media as a means of procrastination, right? So, stopping the use of social media doesn't address the root cause of why you are procrastinating in the first place. Most likely, you will find another way to procratinate. Address the root cause.

That’s quarter-assed at best.

I understand and agree with your point, but Im using "procrastination" as a catch-all explination of a complex set of behaviors. My choice to get offline is more in depth than just trying to use my time more effeciently. This is what I see as a necessary step of comprehensively identifying and overcoming the "root cause."
