[1]Intentional Twitter Usage:
Turning my notifications off mediated this somewhat, I am no longer
poked to go back to Twitter by dings. I have never really viewed
those notifications as important that need instant attention. The
answer has been simply removing the app from my phone, I have
drastically reduced my exposure to Twitter, and I really do feel
better for it.
My Twitter usage is now restricted to when I want to 'go and check'
Twitter on my computer. The downside is that I don't reply to
messages and mentions like I used to, and also my tweets will come
in short bursts of quite a few in a short space of time. So I must
apologise for the time line spam, however I will still continue to
share things to Twitter using [2]Linky, and posts to micro.blog will
appear there also. I am not gone, just using Twitter far more
intentionally and it has worked wonders.

I did a version of Greg's write-up a while ago. I was going to take the
extra step of killing off my Twitter accounts but changed by mind, at
least for now.
