Emma Charlton at the World Economic Forum summarizes a report that finds by cutting out three 10-minute social media checks a day you could read as many as 30 more books a year.
"Just a couple of five-minute breaks every hour are hundreds of hours yearly," the Omni Calculator's creators say. "You cut your social media time by half, and you still get plenty of time to read, run or earn money."
It recommends turning off push notifications that appear on your screen, deleting some apps, calling your friends rather than messaging them, and taking short holidays from all social media once in a while.

Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.

You don't have to be a babbling crazy Marxist to be left of center. That particular test is close to some of the others I've taken:
I'm a little further left, and a little less authoritarian here than in other places. Still, real close.
As for your last paragraph, something is wrong with the scale. That something is dishonesty. The right-wing democratic party is lying to you, to all of us, each and every day. Identity politics is bullshit, through and through. Almost every issue on which the D's take a position, is a distraction away from real, important issues. Those more important issues on which the D's take a position, such as immigration, are clearly designed to undermine the status quo in the US. They don't like that white people outnumber other groups, so they want to bring in enough non-white people to outnumber whites. It's an intentional offensive against white people, that has been ongoing for well over 30 years. Talk more white women into aborting their babies, while bringing in the brown caravans with promises of free goodies - soon enough, there will be no white voice.
Imagine if, instead of white people, the D's were actively working to silence the black voice. Oh, but wait - we don't have to imagine it. The black voice is effectively being silenced at the same time as the white voice, because there are fewer blacks than whites. Odd how that works, huh? Margaret Sanger's dream was to smother the black community in America, after all.
Or, to summarize all of that - the Democratic party in the US is actually alt-right, clothed in leftist garb.
That's why I get so very tired of all the alt-right gobbledy-gook. It's all a pack of lies. D's have more in common with alt-right, fascism, Nazism, and all the other -isms that they attribute to the Republicans, than all the rest of us Americans put together.
