In today's digital landscape, social media's allure can lead to excessive online time without mindfulness.
In this Telugu episode, Mr. Naveen Samala (The Guiding Voice Chief Host) explores why this happens, the impact on our lives, and practical tips for managing our time better.
Key Points:
- Hidden Time Sinks: Social media's engaging design leads to endless scrolling, pressure, and anxiety.

- Evaluate emotions before and after usage.
- Prioritize real-life interactions and set goals for intentional usage.
