When I got my new phone I never installed Instagram, Facebook or TikTok.

I kept the social media apps on my old phone only, so that one became my 'social media phone's instead of my main phone.

Please do.

What I mean by "tricks" is that there's only one thing that matters and that's doing it. You're right that there are efficient methods but I certainly have spent a lot of time researching "the best methods" before realising that the most important thing is to actually just start and then everything works out fine later. Everything else is an excuse to put off doing it.

And sometimes the inability to start (or to persist) is caused by preexisting conditions and it’s helpful to get medication or other help to overcome it.
