I made it a habit to “seek boredom” during my breaks. Walk around the block, drink some water, meditate.
In general, avoid stimulants like HN, Reddit, Instagram to minimize context switching.

I think that simply lying down with eyes closed, breathing deeply or meditating should recharge the cognitive exhaustion and help in grounding.
Will definitely experiment with this and see if I am able to stick with it.
That's an excellent advice. Not just for quitting FB/IG but also for life in general. I often have my deepest thoughts and come up with product ideas when I am bored or in the shower or waiting for the bus.
