Ep. 25 - Lessons from my social media detox

Published: June 26, 2020, 5 p.m.

b'You know that I often recommend that we who live the diplomatic lives need to use social media for good. But was I using it for good? This question prompted my month-long detox from my personal social media accounts. \\n\\nI had two major insights during the detox. First, social media can be a powerful tool of connection when we use it mindfully. It\\u2019s an avenue for mindless consumption of ideas, thoughts and stuff when we don\\u2019t. Secondly, you and I get to decide who we let into our online lives, just like we do in our \\u2018real\\u2019 lives. \\n\\nCan you review who you\\u2019ve let into your online \\u2013 and therefore, real \\u2013 life? I reckon you can. \\n\\nLinks\\n\\nWebsite: www.thelonelydiplomat.com \\nBlog post: \\u2018The Lonely Diplomat: lessons from my social media detox\\u2019 at https://bit.ly/3fHdJXW\\nMy book: https://amzn.to/3brZTXr \\nDr Vivek Murthy \\u2018Together\\u2019: https://amzn.to/3exQE9T \\nSeminars, coaching and other services: www.thelonelydiplomat.com/services \\nPlease, support my work: www.thelonelydiplomat.com/support \\nSubscribe: www.thelonelydiplomat.com/subscribe\\nContact me: admin@thelonelydiplomat.com'
