đŸ“¶ and it’s basically the only Social media platform I use….

P.S. WhatsApp & Snapchat don’t count since they’re basically messaging apps, not social media.

Before you come at me with pitchforks, hear me out.

I did a social media audit, and let’s just say
it was bad. Really bad. So bad that I can’t even share the results publicly—it’s that embarrassing. But the nature of my work requires me to be active on social media, because, well
 my work can’t speak for itself.

So, what did I decide? LinkedIn.

Bonus? It’s a Microsoft product, so dogfooding at its peak. But more importantly, I learn more, gain more, and best of all—no more political drama or random trending lifestyle news that sends me down a rabbit hole trying to figure out who the hell Mufasa is and why Aaron Pierre is he. (Aaron Pierre, that’s Mufasa, Aaron Pierre
.)

And yes, we can stop singing now—it’s embarrassing. But fun. Very whimsical. And oddly unites us all.

Locking In

It’s my time to focus—to listen to what I want to, not just whatever lands at the top of my feed. To learn, understand AI, and actually read papers instead of mindlessly scrolling reels.

By the way, it’s been 24 hours without reels - and counting, and let me tell you:

  • I’ve read a book.
  • I’ve journaled.
  • I’m already on my third blog idea—because ideas, am I right?
  • Andddd my own mind is the only thing that distracted me from work (which, honestly, is kind of refreshing).

It’s all in the Numbers

To make things even more interesting, my screen time dropped from 19 hours (yes, you read that right—across two devices) to a mere 6 hours.


except—5 hours and 58 minutes of that was Spotify because I left a podcast running and forgot to turn off my iPad. 🙃

Am I happy? Yes, and yes.

Am I still doing meaningless things here and there? Of course.

But am I happy, content, and proud? Absolutely.

If I could peek into the future
.

Will this last? I don’t know. But what I do know is that the goal is to live better, and the intention is to check back in a month and see how it’s going.

Oh, and since you made it this far
 did you check my LinkedIn profile?

How’s the new banner and profile looking? Isn’t it lovely? 😏

Am I linked or locked in?
