Frankly, I and my art buddy could just exchange messages by pigeon and it would only be a slower way of doing what we do on FB. XD

sm is a good way of getting your stuff out there. Efficacy improves with the quality of work you do in whatever sense of quality you can define

Social media is like a constant buzz of crap flying past vying for your attention, it is bad for time management.

Actually wait he does use email but he eliminates the amount of time for email usage, but for social media, he has no accounts nor keep up with it.

Since my work is mostly pen-and-paper now I can actually avoid internets entirely. XD

Cal Newport doesn't use email nor social media, his blog gets known through word of the mouth.

I saw Dave Rapoza's schedule, and he didn't even touch email or internets until after five, I think.

I think it is a bad habit for getting to work. Immediately, I distract myself and maybe waste half an hour, maybe more?

01 Jul 02:43

Mechanizoid

Another thing I'm going to do is to not go and immediately check email and messages and social media after logging onto my computer.

01 Jul 02:42

Amit Dutta

I still have to do it, after half a decade of doing this...
