How to Use Social Media Without Social Media Using You
Attention is Worship. All social media is about Attention.
Social Media steals your attention. Is social media stealing your intention and keeping you from designing and living your intentional life?
Listen to learn How to Use Social Media Without Social Media Using You.
Use Twitter Without Twitter Using You
Set guidelines and guardrails for yourself. Make your post, interact as necessary.
Use social media for its purpose (to grow an audience or a brand, to expand your reach or voice).
Don’t just “hang out” on social media. You are training the algorithm, and in the process you may just be losing your intention.
Keep Mindful of Your Circle of Influence and Circle of Control:
Stop and ask yourself:
How much of this really matters to me and my life? – That is the Circle of Concern.
Does it really affect me?
Let’s get real. That thing that is happening in Texas that is the Outrage-of-the-day on social media. Does it really impact me?
If I don’t live in Texas, chances are it doesn’t impact me at all.
Does it even concern me?
Probably not.
How much of this can I actually do something about? – That is the Circle of Influence.
Even if we are talking about in my home state or even in my city:
Do I know someone involved? Are they a family member, friend, a co-worker, a neighbor?
Is it something I can do something about?
If I don’t know the person and don’t have any influence with them as a family member, friend, or acquaintance, the answer is almost surely “no”.
So why waste emotional energy on it?
Quote from the episode:
Twitter says: ‘Perpend, don’t you know that you’re supposed to be standing in the bread line?’
Perpend: “I don’t eat bread.”
