Twitter mental sanity plan

Yes, I know it’s called X. I don’t care.

I was reluctant to sign up for social media, but I finally signed up for a Twitter account. How do I plan on taming this monster? I’m going to use Apple’s Screen-time settings to enforce a short window (I’m thinking 15 minutes) for making a post, linking to my blog, checking DMs, etc. I may block it entirely on the weekends. My wife will have the pass code.

To those of you that might quibble at the need for a pass code, I would respond that social media of all kinds is designed to pull you in and not let you go. I heard one person refer to it as a race for the bottom of the brain stem. What use is the restriction if I can just override it on a whim? No, the pass code is there because I’m human.
