Getting Going on My Resolutions
We’re over a week into the new year, and I’m making absolutely no progress whatsoever on my resolutions. In my defense, I’ve been sick for the last few months, which has robbed me of a lot of energy and motivation. I may, possibly, be on the mend, which is good, but a topic for another day. Today the topic is my personal resolution #4, unplugging from social media.
There’s no denying unplugging will be difficult for me. I have a longstanding love-hate relationship with social media. I think we should all unplug, for many reasons, but I’m not going to make my case for any of them today. Another time, maybe. Most definitely.
Right now, I’m determining what it means to unplug. I guess I’m not going to delete all of my accounts or anything like that. I’ll just stop checking in on them for a few months and see how it goes. It will probably take me the next couple of days to migrate my more important news sources from Twitter over to Feedly, so I can’t go cold turkey. Or maybe I’ll start my news sources collection anew and fresh. That’s probably a good idea.
I plan to stop announcing new Sitting in Oblivion posts via Facebook and Twitter. I’ll be phasing out all such announcements in a couple of weeks, after I implement several other means for interested persons to keep up to date.
