Social ME-dia
Omg, my attention span feels slightly diminished of late. It seems as if every time I sit down to accomplish something, I am (or allow myself to be) pulled in an entirely different direction. This has not, historically, been an issue for me. I’ve prided myself on my ability to multitask, take breaks, focus when necessary, be productive, create daily to-do lists, prioritize and limit screen-time. I’ve attributed the effectiveness of my executive functioning to not being on social media.
Necessary. Evil?
So, it has been a few weeks since I last posted a blog. What have I been busy with? Writing minimally (feeling “stuck”, but not concerned – yet!), and painting again, which makes me feel enchantingly liberated. I have also been (begrudgingly) spending time on social media, specifically, Instagram and Facebook. Fortunately, I dislike the process enough to not get sucked into the social media vortex which often leads to FOMO and other depressive states.
