Do you ever want to just remove social media from your life?

Does it feel like it takes up too much of your time or energy – and do you find yourself getting stressed out by it?

Whether it’s for personal or business use, sometimes it can be refreshing (not to mention relaxing!) to take a break from using social media.

I’ve done shorter social media sabbaticals before – but this is the first time I’ve gone off social media for a whole month.

In this video/podcast I discuss why I did it; how I planned for it (so that I didn’t tank my businesses in the process) and the outcome!

    3. Outcome – I loved it! But this wasn’t my first social media sabbatical – just the longest. If it’s your first time, start small.
