I went cold turkey on all social media last year. It’s much easier than you think once you get past the first week or so. I haven’t missed anything and the benefits to my career and my writing far outweigh any faux-connectedness I’ve had in the past. If something important happens, people tell you. I am now not attached to people in-potentia, I see my real friends a lot more and we have conversations because we have things to catch up about. I’m not covertly spying on their lives and they’re not with mine.

Conversely, I’m entirely unaware of what people I went to primary school with are doing now — and I couldn’t care less. It was adding no value into my life. Just cut it off. Turn it off. Never turn it back on again — and your mental health and your productivity will go through the roof. Promise.
