Ignore the "noise" (which is why we've asked multiple times for AARP Community to allow "ignore"...).

Hi @WebWiseWoman , there is an ignore user option. Or are you talking ignore Individual posts?

What's helping me stay on track is the time I spend with GOD early in the morning before I begin my day..

Social challenge, staying on track for me — continuously working out at the gym and seeing friends, while there. Never stop having fun wherever you find it. And always make at least one person smile or laugh each day.

I try to put down my phone at the park and other public spaces and make eye contact with people. So much of human interaction has been erased by technology - like self-check out at the grocery store, QR code ordering at restaurants, etc.

I’ve watched people on dates look at their phone the whole time. No conversation, just staring at their phones. The art of conversation is dissolving before our eyes. It’s all cat videos and social media.

Exactly! Everyone I see on public transportation is looking down at a screen. Chance meetings are where I met my husband and many of my friends. One of the Rewards earning activities in the challenge was about the power of smiling. It is so true!

I am giving thought to which points redemption option I might choose that will lead to more social connection... like a restaurant gift card so I can meet up with a new friend. Everything is so expensive these days... every little bit helps.

So true. Even married couples are on their phones. When you try different sites, you start out texting. Then, at least for me, the men are who they say they are and it's just a catfish game. I don't have time to play games and I am weary when someone reaches out on a social media platform.

My mindset tip is to put God first and always remain optimistic. Only hang out with positive people. 🌻

I’ve had three catfish attempts by supposed women on dating apps. They just aren’t worth it. I got off them all.

To stay on track, I use a list app and also schedule time on my calendar to make sure I complete to-do's.

God is the fist holy spirit i acknowledge for the day.

Great ideas @melissap593745 . I like the reminders App.

Omg men try to follow me on my ig or tik tok trying to scam me. They are all of some special contracts in other countries and want you to get whatsapp or Google chat or telegram and when I call them out they delete their page.

A reminders app seems like a good idea and not overwhelming

I like this idea too. Challenging for those living in age communities. So many have physical and medical problems that affect their outlooks.

I like mine a lot @mc6844 . Setting it to a tone that is a wind chime type of sound instead of an alarm clock sound has been nice too.
