The first step towards reducing social media usage is reducing the number of notifications you receive. Whenever you tap on any notification, it takes you straight into the app and thirty minutes you still find yourself scrolling through your feed. Most of the notifications are not important, e.g the notification about ‘Someone commented on someone’s photo on Facebook’.

However, you don’t need to turn off all the notifications. Rather you can customize notifications so you only receive important notifications.
