3 Reasons why social media is ruining you.
Social Media is ruining our attention spans. How can we accomplish deep and meaningful work if we're constantly being interrupted by beeps and red buttons? It takes clarity and focus to achieve breakthroughs. I HIGHLY encourage reading the article below. It's the most complete article on how social media is hacking your brain. Literally.

 More time. We may not think that we're spending that much time on social media but all of those little moments add up over the course of a day. If you can seamlessly move from crushing one task and then another, you can accomplish so much more. And have more time to do what you actually care about. Family, partying, sports or whatever tickles your fancy.

 Comparisons. Why do you care what your friends are doing minute by minute? Why should they care what you're doing? What are you possibly going to talk about when you already know everything they've been up to?

Superb article - thanks for sharing. The rat experiment is a good one and an analogy that most would not like to be associated with - and would be startled if they realised just how primitive and similar this behaviour is!

@stevelivingston, no worries man. It's absolutely insane to me how everyone and everything is acting these days, including myself. 

I can go on a hot streak of productivity and feel invincible and then all of a sudden I consume some negative energy from the internet or worry about cryptos and the momentum is gone...

Do you ever find yourself in "internet traps"?

Constantly! I have been experimenting with using time trackers like Toggl to keep me focused on tasks.
