A social media boundaries workbook.
Plan one manageable change while protecting the online activities you value. Print a blank copy or fill it in here. Your entries stay in this open page and are not sent to Social Suit.
This is a personal planning tool, not a diagnostic test or treatment. Do not enter names, medical records, account credentials, or sensitive details. Refreshing or closing this page clears the entries. Printing may create a file or copy on your device; store it thoughtfully.
Start with one concrete moment
Choose a situation such as checking a feed during a homework break or opening an app before bed. Describe what happens without judging yourself or another person. Keep exceptions for useful communication and accessibility. A smaller experiment is easier to assess than an all-or-nothing rule.
A simple seven-day observation
Once a day, note whether you tried the change and what made it easier or harder. You do not need to track every minute or assign a score to your mood. After a week, ask whether the experiment protected a meaningful activity, caused an unnecessary problem, or needs a different exception. A difficult week is information, not evidence of failure or a diagnosis.

Use it for a family conversation
Invite each person to name one activity that deserves protection and one online activity they do not want to lose. Discuss what should happen when a rule conflicts with school, work, a friend needing support, or accessibility. Write a review date together. The worksheet should support a conversation rather than become a surveillance record.
