Update: 11 Weeks Without Social Media

I’m trying to give updates every week on what life without social media is like so people who are curious, or considering giving it up, can have an idea what it’s like.

At this point, it feels pretty normal not using social media. I don’t know that it’s better or worse. I think the biggest thing for me is that, since I committed to such a long time without it (1 year), it’s given me a chance to develop more patience and consistency in the way that I create. I think way further down the road about goals and my life, while thinking way less about what anyone will think of it.

I also have a deeper respect for people who are able to use social media without getting caught up in the negatives of it. There’s certainly the potential for a lot of positives and new opportunities from social media that we’ve never had as a culture before it.
