Instagram is a business-driving app for my brand, NJspots.

With over 86K followers, I must check it daily to ensure things are running smoothly.

But after a long day at my full-time job and a few hours of freelance work a day, I was mindlessly scrolling for 1–2 hours at night.

A few months ago, I ended this and added an app limit to my iPhone for Instagram.

Originally, I had it set to 20 minutes a day, but found I could not answer DMs and enjoy it all within that time.

So, I’ve extended it to 45 minutes a day.

This change has greatly impacted my efficiency. Instead of mindlessly scrolling at night, I’m creating draft stories on Medium or searching X (Twitter) for new people to connect with.

Set boundaries in new places and see where your efficiency takes you.
