Welcome back to Diary of a Drop-Out, with me, Naomi Balderson. I’ve just completed 3 weeks without social media. In today's episode, "I Deleted Social Media: This Is What I Learnt,” we’ll dive into the pervasive influence of technology in our lives and how stepping back from it changed my relationship with social media.
I’ll share my personal journey, reflecting on how content creation can be contrived, the importance of remembering your own voice, and the impact of the dopamine-driven attention economy. We’ll explore the societal norms that make constant phone use socially acceptable and discuss the activities that filled my time during the detox. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by social media or being online this episode offers insights and practical tips on reclaiming your time and presence.
What does it mean to live more mindfully in a world constantly demanding your attention?
