AT WHAT COST?
I closed my Twitter account on June 3, 2023. Over two years ago now.
Could I have grown my email list by a few more people over those two years? Met some more great people? Had some posts go viral and then be discovered by a few more folks?
Sure.
But I firmly believe that in the two years that I haven’t checked Twitter (or Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn), I’ve become a better person.
When you’re not spending multiple hours per day scrolling, you’ve gotta find something else to do. I’ve gone on walks, ran up mountains, hosted many Zoom calls with amazing people. Written more newsletters.
I believe those ideas are better than the ideas that come from staring at my phone for 4+ hours a day.
If your a musician, you could write better songs. A painter, make better paintings. A photographer, make better photos.
It’s building the audience before you’ve fully built who you were to become. If I went viral two years ago, it would have broke me. Today, though, I feel more sure in what I’m working on than ever before.
