5 Ways to Help with Your Social (Media) Anxiety

In this episode, @angela.s.doyon is on the mic solo and sharing how her feelings of overwhelm and anxiety were beginning to catch up to her. She realized that she needed to make some changes in order to continue to utilize social apps and manage her business but alleviate some of the overwhelm.

Five ways to help alleviate some of this overwhelm and anxiety begin with setting timers, boundaries, managing notifications, being proactive and implementing strategy and techniques that can help save time.

Some simple strategies you can start to implement are setting timers for social apps, or not checking your phone first thing in the morning. Ang has even turned off all notifications for social apps and email because they were starting to feel like triggers for more work. By setting up systems and being proactive with saved replies, out-of-office notifications and expectations, has helped minimize the feelings of overwhelm.

But one of her biggest suggestions is removing any app off of your phone. In fact, Ang removed email from her phone in order to better manage her time and anxiety. What do you think? Could you remove apps or email from your phone?
