Important books: decreasing social media, increase focus

[HPS Lydia]

Social media can be even more harmful than many people think. As author Cal Newport states, it keeps people in a scattered and chaotic mindset, unable to focus properly.

For anyone unable to "detox" from it, check out these books (free download links below). "Digital Minimalism" is the trend he started, and he cites other writings and research on the subject. I highly recommend reading these, I'm sure a lot of people will benefit from them.

As well, Mercury will soon be entering it's home sign Virgo, and excellent time to begin a working for improving focus, and all aspects of the mind. Yellow energy is extremely good for these things, if you just wanted to do a daily affirmation.

Social media like facebook was literally made to get people hooked on it. And the founder literally admits it on video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPwR1i-sWpo
In no time people will prefer endless scrolling than doing normal activities, as their brain reward system gets fucked.
