GAIN CREATIVE HEADSPACE BY LEAVING SOCIAL MEDIA
This is where I think the magic lies is moving away from social media, from Olivia Rafferty:
“What I’m really toying with is the idea of quitting Instagram for all of 2026, as an experiment. This kinda frightens me because I want to do another crowd finder this year, and Instagram was surprisingly useful and getting some pledges last time I did it. But I just feel like my creativity and headspace will be the better for it?”
As I’ve spent less time on social media over the last few years, I had time to host weekly Zoom calls with my subscribers.
I am a better person because of it.
If you would have asked me in 2023 to moderate a panel about artists leaving social media, I woulda said no way – I’d be terrified! But now? I’ll do it this afternoon on Zoom, let’s go.
Sure, if I stayed on social media I could have gained more likes, potential subscribers, some opportunities, but I’d have been the same Seth.
Today I am a better communicator, writer, person because I’ve put my time and energy into people instead of platforms.
