📖 Why does social media need boundaries?

1) The Trap

• Engineered for addiction: infinite scroll, notifications, algorithmic novelty.
• Hijacks your dopamine loop: unpredictable rewards keep you hooked.
• Trains distraction: even when you’re off the app, your brain craves the next hit.

2) The Reframe

• Social media ≠ bad.
• Unbounded social media = bad.
• With boundaries, you keep the upside (connection, creativity, information) while cutting the downside (doom-scroll, wasted hours, brain fog).

3) What Boundaries Do

• Time-box dopamine: prevents runaway loops.
• Force conscious choice: one platform = one clear purpose.
• Restore balance: you control the app, not the other way around.
