Social media is all the rage these days and taking part in everything that's available can be overwhelming. Earlier this year I shared what works for me and why. I feel like I do a bare minimum, but it's still hard to keep up with those three things. Often I dream of the days when there was no blogging or instagram or Pinterest. But I also know those things bring joy to my life. Sometimes I feel like it's all noise and I'm adding to the noise by participating.
Maybe I should try quitting it all and see what it's like to live like it's 1992 again.
How about you?
In our family, I don't allow my children any screen time until after 4:00. I found that without that rule, they were asking all the time if they could play this game, or watch that show. I've done this since January of this year, and for the longest time it seemed like they were just waiting for 4:00 every day so they could do their thing. It's only in the last month or two that they've stopped watching the minutes. For myself personally, I've (mostly) quit Facebook (cut my friends from 200 to 20ish) and taken to blogging instead. I know it's still the same level of "noise," but it seems to be more coherent noise, less garbled and meaningless.
