I gave up social media for a month on an impulse. It was the middle of the morning. I had loads to do. I hadn't got round to starting anything. I was miserable, But I had managed to fit in my usual social media habits around my lack of achievement. Was social media holding me back? I didn't know, but like everyone I much prefer finding a scapegoat to actually thinking a problem through. So there and then I decided I would give it up for a month and see what effect it had on my life.
