Off the wagon, on the wagon, Babbling my way back to brilliance. A bit about my brain being fried by my addiction to social media and what I’m doing about it to strengthen my attention span.

Good Morning and Happy New Year
Hell yes!
Yes to that too! I love FB, but I’m not sure how good it is for me.
Yes, FB is a problem. It is designed to produce hits of dopamine — as you say, encouraging shorter and shorter attention spans. We literally become addicted. I am trying to limit this as well.
Good morning lovely one!
Hi Allison <3 Happy New Year
?
🤧
I can’t do one single push up either…lol
Counter push ups sound really easy 😀 I’ll try that
Don’t know where you’re located, but try meridian flexibility — amazing amazing type of simultaneous stretching and strength training. I recently took a class in NYC at Bendable Body and at the beginning of class, I could barely do 1 pushup. By the end I did 10 easily. It’s a different approach and incredibly effective. I was stunned.
I need more quiet time too and go back to more yoga time! Started today by planning when to be on and be off of FB and social media
lova ya!!!!!
I’ve realized the same thing! I thought I was having early onset dementia!!! It just Facebook fog!!!
Co-working is great for helping me stay focused
It totally becomes a drug
I am starting to use a platform for content – posts scheduling, you can even answer from there…and then less real-time interaction
YES FUCKING MULTITASKING is death
I think it’s because we don’t have the same real life personal connection.
Co-Working really helps me stay focused.
What’s co working Tracey?
Thanks for sharing! I’m also working on setting specific times to write, podcasts, etc. and be fully present while doing those things. Social media is definitely a drug and we’re all getting addicted to some degree!
Joelle – when people who work for themselves meet at a coffee shop or someplace to work on their own stuff head to head.
Something about someone watching me work keeps me from screwing around so much.
Accountability partners works for me too
I very much miss working with kids and the daily interaction with my colleagues. As a single woman who lives alone, and has no family, FB is incredibly challenging because it’s an easy way to “connect”.
Nice Tracey! Sounds very productive!!
I am doing both online and in person in my business again. It feels a lot better. In person can mean on zoom, Skype, even on a Facebook live when someone actually comments and connects with me. I use my sketch book a lot though. And it’s incredibly important to me to sit down and have time to THINK.
Haha! Make FB your Bitch Gurl!!!
Creating quite device free time, reading and journaling!!! Yes writing!! YES!! Facebook lets me see people and say things when I decide. Take back your time and life gurl!!
I like to say “I am powerfully choosing to_______”
love you girl
Thanks, Allison. Love connecting with you <3 have a great day
Watching replay 🙂
It’s so good Christina
Replay Viewer!! Everything you are saying is so in sync with everything I have been feeling! I actually checked out of Facebook this past weekend intentionally and will keep doing it. PS: You’re hair and everything looks really great today!
Love it, I am making Facebook my bitch!

Uhhh yes all the time
Great topic… talk about perfect timing… because I’ve been thinking myself out of everything today because I don’t want to build a business that has me spending even more time online… I want nature, movement (and connection) away from the desk, computers, Facebook
I’m totally there too- I don’t want to be a slave to my business. At the same time I DO want to have a lucrative meaningful business/work
Yes I just thought of this today too. I am going back to spending time reading and listening and taking notes. Then organizing into useful form. So it sinks in. Following all the way through the cycle!
And not adding anything else in right now. I have so much content to learn and digest. I am taking a 30day break from buying anything other than complete necessity.
Yes I like this. Create for ourselves first. ?

Figuring out how to use FB so it works for us …. rather than letting FB use us so we become a “tool” ?

Yes I realized I have been not fully digesting, assimilating and then utilizing information and my creative inspirations. I have been cutting off the cycle and storing too much. If that makes sense ?

Replay viewer!♡♡
Love this!! Totally agree!
Study time – good idea
I couldn’t do many of those!
Thank you Allison!??
Thank you Allison!😘😘
