TIPS
Responsible interaction
The Minstdes platform was created as a safe space for virtual leisure—without pressure, without risks, and without the need for contributions. However, even on resources with the most secure structure, it is important to remember your own responsibility when using digital entertainment. Excessive engagement in any type of activity, even if it is completely virtual, can affect your emotional state, daily routine, and overall well-being.
Signs of excessive engagement in virtual entertainment:
- Loss of sense of time. You spend more time in the virtual environment than you planned, and this begins to interfere with other daily activities.
- Neglecting responsibilities. Entertainment begins to take precedence over important tasks such as work, study, and family life.
- Mood swings when you take a break. If you feel irritable or anxious when you are unable to use the platform, this may indicate emotional dependence.
- Attempts to hide the time spent on the platform. You don’t want anyone to know how much time you spend on entertainment, or you want to reduce the actual number of hours.
How to maintain a healthy balance:
- Plan time for entertainment. Set clear time limits: for example, 30 minutes per day. Reminders or a timer will help you stick to this limit.
- Take breaks. Even a short break to do something else — have a coffee, get some fresh air, chat with a friend — helps you avoid becoming overwhelmed by virtual impressions.
- Get involved in various activities. Maintain an interest in hobbies, physical activity, reading, and communication. This will help you distribute your emotional attention in a balanced way.
- Talk about it. Don’t be shy about asking friends, family, or professionals for advice. Support is an important part of responsible digital entertainment.
