Stop Visiting Social Media unknowingly, Instead do a simple breathing exercise

In this pandemic situation, almost the entire tech industry is working from home. Staying focussed & productive is a constant challenge especially when you are working alone. There are a good number of studies available on the web which show why do we start browsing social media just before 5 mins of a meeting or starting any difficult task.

The answer is - Our brain is wired to get instant gratification and it releases dopamine with constant gratification. That's why Social Media is very addictive.

I have written an article on Medium on how you can redirect your Social Media sites like Instagram, Facebook, Netflix, or any other site on which you are addicted, even Reddit :-) to something very simple which helps you bring your focus back to work or let's say help you Meditate.
