    23: Ever think about quitting social media? Me too -- here are my top reasons

    If you're rethinking how you use social media, this episode is for you. I'm in the midst of my own reset, particularly with Instagram. The most recent data shows that on average we're spending more than 3 hours per day on our phones, with 1 in 5 spending more than 4.5 hours. These do not add up to my best days. For now, I'm taking a long break to decide how to move forward. Some considerations: Wanting to be more present in daily life Seeking contentment over aspiration Valuing deeper, two-way connection Developing ideas further than a quick share on IG Stories Rebuilding my ability to focus and reach creative flow Getting clear on what I really want rather than getting caught up in mimetic desires Some favorite resources if you're exploring your own relationship with social media: Digital Minimalism, Cal Newport (book) Stolen Focus, Johann Hari (book) How to Break Up with Your Phone, Catherine Price (book) The Shallows, Nicholas Carr (book) Wanting, the Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life, Luke Burgis (book) The Social Dilemma (documentary) Your Undivided Attention (podcast) Off the Grid (podcast) Connect on Instagram: @brianacullen Get the newsletter and grab the guide for productivity aligned with your Human Design.
