Key Takeaways
- Take a digital sabbatical at least once a week: Take small steps and start with an hour
- Be mindful of who you friend on Facebook (or follow on Twitter) so you don’t get sucked in to their drama
- Detach to get creative: it’s too easy to edit yourself on your laptop. Go old school and grab a pen and paper and let the ideas flow!
- Social media can be a time-suck if you are not mindful. Focus on what you hope to achieve and set limits to how much time you spend
Resources Mentioned
- Rescue Time: see where you are spending your time and remove any in-efficiences from your day
- Anti-Social: don’t have the willpower to logout of social media? Anti-social will do it for you.
