Good Intentions

Moment of confession.  I ALMOST made it through the social media fast.  Almost.

I made it to 4 p.m.  But, I picked a pretty lousy day to stay off the sites because I was working from home all day.  So, I'm going to give it a go again this week.  Just to officially complete the challenge.

Here's what I learned from the time off.  Social media is awesome.  It's a great way to keep up with what's going on in the world and your friends/connections.  But, putting down the phone is almost like breaking an addiction.  It isn't so much the content I'm craving, it's just having something to do to fill the down spaces.

The thing I missed the most was Twitter.  Mostly because I follow most major news outlets there.  It felt a little archaic to actually go to websites for news.  I actually watched the morning, afternoon and evening news that day.  Crazy what you miss.

So, I think I'm going to actually pare back my initial goal of building up to 5 days a month.  I think I'll see if I can peak at 3 and keep it there.

So far this has been an interesting journey.  Check out the weekly wins to see how I'm doing!
