Fast Fix Friday: Chronological Feeds

Meta defaults you to algorithmic feeds, but here's the thing: both Facebook and Instagram have chronological feed options that show fewer ads and zero suggested content.

On Instagram, tap the word "Instagram" at the top of your screen. You'll see a dropdown menu: hit "Following." You're now seeing posts from people you actually follow, ordered by when they were posted. Minutes ago, not weeks.

On Facebook, tap your profile picture in the bottom right corner. Same deal: you'll get options for which feed to view. Pick the chronological one and you're back to real-time content.

This is where I do my actual engagement. 10 minutes a day on each platform, then I'm done.

Everything else is noise. The chronological feed keeps it simple and honest.
