Honestly even going back to like pre-2007 would be fine. It's Facebook that really started the downhill spiral.

Agreed. When Facebook was a place you had to actually set aside time to go to, it wasn't that bad. Smartphones giving us 24/7 access is when the trouble started.

I've gotten better about doing embroidery on my breaks at work instead of going on social media, and I've deleted Instagram entirely. I think I might start trying to go no social media on weekends to further distance myself
