In the middle of Lent my attempt to limit my social media use to 10 minutes per day wasn't working out. I often found an excuse to increase my time just a little bit more. After reading an article by Judy Wu Dominick about getting off social media for good, I decided it was time to go cold turkey with a 30 day social media fast along the lines advocated by Cal Newport. At the end of 30 days I can feel many of the benefits of being off social media, and I'm not quite sure how I'll handle getting back on. I did notice one unexpected challenge along the way as I created a gap in my day from being off social media.
