I can see that. I was thinking about it from the perspective of building discipline. I don’t think you can become a disciplined person without motivation but I agree once you build a habit of being disciplined it can carry you when you are not motivated.
I lack discipline and motivation!
It’s cyclical depending on my mood or situation or medication
Habit , discipline, motivation

Posting daily is a good discipline.

Or an addiction lol

I don't agree with this. How can learning be described as an addiction?
reply
SN is a community
Learning is a component of SN but there are social media components as well

It’s a fine line to be sure. Haha

Do you also believe that this is an addiction?
reply
SN can be addictive. It’s like a social media site in that way. Zaps and notifications give a dopamine rush. So I don’t think it is an addiction but it can evoke addictive behaviours.

According to me, addiction is when you have a strong physical or psychological need or urge to do or use something. It is a dependence on a substance or activity, even if you know it is harmful to you. It can interfere with your daily life.
Is SN harmful?
reply
Yes if you spend too much time on it
If it interferes with your life
