I promised myself

I will try digital minimalism. Why? Because I notice that I’m not doing all the things I could do in my daily routine. For example, I promised myself that I would write three times a week in English—texts like this one. But I didn’t. And it isn’t about time. I spend **half an hour a day** on Instagram, just endlessly scrolling on a little screen, watching videos that I don’t even remember later. I feel regret for that.

However, I feel that I can take control of my own life. I could do better and improve myself every day instead of wasting my time, my creativity, my concentration, and my sanity on some Instagram reels. On other social media platforms, this doesn’t happen. Instagram is my biggest enemy—it takes all my attention. On YouTube, I only watch technical videos and tutorials. I don’t even have the patience to watch vlogs or other types of videos. I like to be direct about where I’m going and where I want to be.

Basically, it isn’t about rejecting technology but about using it in the right way—not just being a slave to your own smartphone. We already sleep eight hours a day; it’s absurd not to live during the other sixteen… Well, I think it will be a good try, and next week I will write my three texts—one of them will be about how my experience is going.

I would like some tips to write more like a native speaker does.


Tentarei o minimalismo digital. Por quê? Porque percebo que não estou fazendo todas as coisas que poderia fazer na minha rotina diária. Por exemplo, prometi a mim mesma que escreveria três vezes por semana em inglês — textos como este. Mas não fiz. E não é questão de tempo. Passo **meia hora por dia** no Instagram, apenas rolando sem parar em uma pequena tela, assistindo a vídeos dos quais nem me lembro depois. Sinto arrependimento por isso.

No entanto, sinto que posso assumir o controle da minha própria vida. Eu poderia fazer melhor e me aprimorar a cada dia em vez de desperdiçar meu tempo, minha criatividade, minha concentração e minha sanidade em alguns reels do Instagram. Em outras plataformas de mídia social, isso não acontece. O Instagram é meu maior inimigo — ele toma toda a minha atenção. No YouTube, só assisto a vídeos técnicos e tutoriais. Não tenho paciência nem para assistir a vlogs ou outros tipos de vídeos. Gosto de ser direta sobre onde estou indo e onde quero estar.

Basicamente, não se trata de rejeitar a tecnologia, mas de usá-la da maneira correta — não apenas ser escravo do seu próprio smartphone. Já dormimos oito horas por dia; é absurdo não viver durante as outras dezesseis... Bem, acho que será uma boa tentativa, e na semana que vem escreverei meus três textos — um deles será sobre como está sendo minha experiência.

Feedback

Honestly, your writing is pretty good already here! A couple of corrections, but they're very nitpicky stuff.
