Illana, thanks a lot for this. This is something that has been on my mind lately. I realized at some point, that social media (not just Facebook, but ALL of social media) is not advancing me towards any of my goals.

At the moment I have 2:

1. Make more money
2. Build a platform to be able to pursue a career of a writer — on Medium

And social media doesn’t help any of these directly. Hence, I just don’t need it. It distracts me from my ‘thing’. And focus is so important if I want to achieve anything.

We fall into this trap of thinking that the world will go down if we unplug, but the reality is – we’re too self-absorbed. Nobody will even notice.

I will think about your post for a couple more days, thanks for an interesting and thought-provoking theme.

And let’s connect!
