What I Learned From a 30-Day Social Media Detox
Most people won’t admit how much social media means, or has meant, to them. For me, social media has been my life since 2008. I’ve built multiple businesses using Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other platforms to garner attention, build community and generate revenue.
After six years of heavy social media use (read: nearly every waking hour of every single day) it was time for a break. I was fed up with losing control of my feeds. I was upset with my diminishing social reach due to networks bursting at the seams with users. I also started to become cynical and jealous of people. So for 30 days, I quit social media cold turkey and implemented a self-imposed detox.
The following is a daily journal I kept on the notes app on my iPhone during the 30-day social media detox. If you want to skip the journal, scroll to the bottom of this article to read my final thoughts.
