I deleted social media off my phone
Not because I’m anti-social media or think it’s evil, but because I realized I was playing the wrong role. I was a consumer pretending to be a creator. You know the routine: Open Instagram to “check engagement.” 30 minutes later you’re watching reels that have nothing to do with your business. Jump on Facebook to post in a group. Somehow end up doom scrolling your feed. The math wasn’t mathing. I was spending hours a day consuming other people’s content and maybe 20 minutes creating my own. So here’s my 2026 shift: Social media stays on my desktop. Intentional access only. Scheduled times. My phone? That’s for creating. Voice memos for content ideas. Recording videos. Writing emails. Engaging with my actual community. I’m not disappearing from social platforms. I’m just changing my relationship with them. I’ll show up, add value, engage with people, and leave. No mindless scrolling. No comparing. No rabbit holes. Creator mode vs. Consumer mode. One builds your business. The other kills your time. If you’re serious about growing in 2026, ask yourself: What percentage of your social media time are you actually creating vs. just watching what everyone else is doing? The algorithm doesn’t care about your goals. But you should. Let’s build something this year instead of just watching other people build. Who’s with me?
