Less is always better.

It’s 6 am. Woke up early. Enough time to work!

Reply to Reddit comments.

Reply to clients.

Check ebook sales.

Check my Instagram account.

Write Tweets.

Check and reply to emails.

Check the progress from the previous day.

Do I have time for a short run or Yoga?

Nope. Because it’s 10 am already!

This is how I skip breakfast every single day.

Reasons why I am deleting some of my social media accounts?

  1. Too much time consuming. Social media apps know which ads to throw on my face whenever I visit them.
  2. I need free time as well. I need weekends to spend with my family. Or simply a day without — what to write next, claps, count..
  3. Brainwashing becomes easy. I don’t want to say anything more.
  4. Mental stress. I used to be on Facebook a lot during my Depression days.
  5. I have to fight against the App, against the Algorithm. Platform changes but the story remains the same.

I don’t have a personal account so that saves me a ton of my time. However, handling different business accounts becomes difficult.

One business -> at the most two social media accounts.

Personal account? I don’t know if we even need that.

Each social media platforms have millions of daily viewers. We hardly need more than that.

See you soon!
