Many thanks for a cool article. I few times tried to quit Instagram because of stories. Now will try your approaches with filters. Sounds interesting!

Definitely agree with your comment about how we tend to spend more time scrolling stories at the moment when we feel bored and it's rather worth asking why is that we feel bored in the first place. Sometimes I deliberately plan what I'll be doing in the long line or on a train to work to make sure I don't fall into the trap of watching stories.

What do you usually end up spending time on instead (e.g. when in the long time or train to work)?

mostly reading a book, but also answering someone I've been postponing, making to-dos for the day, or reading articles like yours (I'd previously bookmark it so I can easily get back to it when the time comes)!
