Gabriela Nguyen , 23 , founded APPstinent , a Harvard student organization that offers free coaching for clients.

Nguyen is particularly invested in helping fellow members of Gen Z to reclaim their lives.

She believes Gen Z have moved from a phone-based childhood to an "infantilizing" phone based adulthood.

Nguyen advises clients who feel they need social media in order to promote a business or their own personal brand.

Some people have a romantic notion that quitting social media will make way for creative, brilliant ideas.

Quitting social media may lead to certain friendships falling by the wayside and harsh realizations, like that all of your social ties were, well, weak.

When you quit social media, it's important to just be bored without needing a productivity hack.
