CONSCIOUS CALL

QI post, then obsessively refresh to see who has liked my post. Please give me three tips to avoid doing this.

e have all been guilty of this, so it’s definitely not just you. My recommendation is always to disengage. Post right before you have a meeting or assignment due so that you literally don’t have the time to keep refreshing. Or, pick up the phone and call someone you haven’t spoken to in a while. That way you’re not in a position to refresh. Third and most important, make a conscious decision not to do it. Half the battle is won right there.
