Love this! I am trying to picture myself on social media detox, everything else I am happy to go without, being the hermit that I am. Thank you for great suggestions!

It's definitely hard, but I think it's so rewarding! Thanks for sharing!

I want to know how your fast was once you return from it. Did you get that burst of inspiration?

This does sound very difficult, but it's a good experiment to try. I’m considering it myself, but (as most people probably say) I need to take some time to mentally prepare for it.

Hi there!

So I am now almost entirely through my fast, and you'll see that I posted a short story today as well. That story came much more easily to me than when I wasn't doing this fast, so I think the fast has helped me to reset a little bit in the way it usually does for me.

I will say that I once did a media fast for three months with the same stipulations as I wrote out here and I found A TON of inspiration in that. I wrote half of my short story collection as well as edited my novel (which I now like a whole lot more than before).
