Disconnected: Quitting Social Media and Embracing Digital Minimalism
Following my 1 month Social Media Sabbatical, I decided to call it quits on Instagram and Facebook. In this solo episode, I share the reasons behind my choice and the impact it has on my life. I also share some practical, research-backed methods you can use to become less distracted, and more focused and reduce the grip Social Media has on our lives.
Here's what I shared in this episode
- Reasons behind quitting Social Media
- Some surprising and not-so-surprising effects of quitting
