Experiment: only checking notifs twice a day. Allowed to tweet whenever I want.

I want to shift it from: “notifs come in whenever, I do the rest of my life in between” to: “I am doing my life, I make a lil time in the day for notifs 🥰 in between” https://t.co/MjnarAm051

Maybe it’s because I went from “Work all the time by default, fun to spare” to “Leisure all the time by default, some work to spare.” https://t.co/gH67ASyVkH

“Allowed” is a weird word, because this is an actively non-coercive experiment. I “can” go and check notifs whenever I want. Anytime I feel myself thinking, “I can’t check notifs,” I remind myself, “FUCK NO, i CAN go check it right now if I want.” Then: “Do I want to?”

I’m v consciously doing this experiment NOT from the super-ego and ENTIRELY from the ego, or not at all, in an effort to increase my sense of self-identification, autonomy, and unrestricted freedom in life. https://t.co/hzRgN760ip

super-ego ~= a part of you that forms as a child to regulate your behaviour and tell you what needs to be done to survive and be accepted ego ~= your own sense of self about how your actions connect to the goals you want [ego ain’t bad, you know]

Noticing I tend to clear out the 2–6 notifications from my alts on the spot, but when my main has 20+ / 99+ notifications, I avoid touching it until I really have time. This is a good thing. Weaponing my completionism. https://t.co/vqMTOwl0L6

@xsphi Oh, it’s also easier when I have 20+ notifs, and I’m like: I can’t finish this all in one setting. Versus 2–3, tempting. All the more reason to let it accumulate. The more is accumulates, the more of a burden to go through—a virtuous heavening flywheel.

@AskYatharth I think trying to stop myself all the time might be too hard at first, but I might start timing time from wake up to first notif check. Post results each day. Try to drive up the number as much as possible.

@xsphi It’s surprisingly easy when I remember how much I hate it. I like the idea of this so much more: https://t.co/qK5IXG4IRd

@xsphi is this 🦋 weaponising completionism? the same forces that keep me from touching my email can keep me from touching my twitter

@xsphi twitter notifs in part work because there’s no “mark unread” option—you end up replying then & there we can use this to our advantage leave it as scorched as our email inbox
