Today marks the end of our second-ever social media cleanse! For 30 days we have intentionally avoided all social media usage, and today we go over exactly what we've learned in those 30 days, plus what each of us plans to do now that we can re-integrate social media back into our lives.
We did a 30-day social media cleanse last year as well, however we soon discovered that the cleanse did almost nothing to ACTUALLY affect our social media usage. After a couple months we found ourselves once again making poor decisions when it comes to social media, mainly allowing its addictive nature to negatively impact our productivity and focus.
Leading up to this social media declutter, a variety of apps were causing each of us issues. Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok were finding ways to distract us from productive work every single day. In order to actually change our habits, we pursued a much more intentional social media detox.
Following the advice of Cal Newport in his book Digital Minimalism, we began a very intentional declutter. We started this month by setting parameters on each of our social media apps, and we wanted this declutter to become something that would forever change the way we use digital devices.
Did we succeed? Find out today, in the newest episode of Project Today!
