social media

01 Jul 02:46

Oh social media.

01 Jul 02:46

SM?

01 Jul 02:46

just don't browse it

01 Jul 02:46

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.

01 Jul 02:45

I use Mind the Time, and ignore it. XD

I have like 7 peoples on facebook? In fact, I am planning to delete it, not sure yet... there are some facebook groups on there.

01 Jul 02:45

I use focusd for my browser

01 Jul 02:45

But since we are both busy, we just leave messages too each other when we are passing by.

01 Jul 02:45

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.

01 Jul 02:45

I have, like, only one friend I regularly talk too on FB and sites like that. My bosom art buddy.

01 Jul 02:44

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.

01 Jul 02:44

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

01 Jul 02:44

Reminds me of Cal Newport Deep Work.

01 Jul 02:44

I am notoriously bad at this

01 Jul 02:44

Yeah for sure.

01 Jul 02:43

ya... service your needs first...then service others.

01 Jul 02:43

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

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

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

01 Jul 02:42

I shall write myself a note and pin it to the corkboard. XD

01 Jul 02:42

good point. stick poignant shit on your walls..

01 Jul 02:42

No, Mama will spank me if I write on the wall with my crayons again. ;u;

01 Jul 02:42

Like keeping yourself noticed every day when you wake up "DRAW 250 BOXES"!!

01 Jul 02:41

By the way, do you have that like written down on your wall or something Mech?

01 Jul 02:41

Often I come back and realize my stuff isn't nearly as bad as I thought, too.

01 Jul 02:41

LOL my brain does that too

01 Jul 02:41

I think my brain goes "fuck you asshole you suck" and I just ignore it :)
