Social Media Hiatus 😌

As a mom, spouse & entrepreneur, I find myself always needing time. Time to spend with my kid, time to show my man affection, time to engage with my customers… the list goes on. However, I need all of this “time” but something is always falling short. I am only one person. How can I be responsible for so many things & actually be good at them?

Well, there was one thing that I always seemed to find time for and that’s social media. Social media is easily accessible and entertaining. It truly is “something to do when there’s nothing to do” but definitely not something to do while you should be focusing on other things, more important things.

I found my responsibilities slipping through the cracks. I may sit on my phone for 20-30 minutes neglecting the fact that it’s bath time for my baby or that I have not completed my email campaign for the month.

I’m not getting any younger lol. But one thing I have noticed is valuable is TIME. There are moments I may spend with my baby that she may never forget, she deserves my full attention.

And, my brand. If I am not working on making it better, no one is. Social media is crucial to the success of my brand. I gain 86% of my customers there. Could you imagine how much I’ve lost by being absent? A lot for sure but I was willing to take that loss in order to make my brand presence BETTER!

The purpose of my social media break was to learn how to run my life without it. I’ve been able to see how much I can get done in a day without picking up my phone every 30 minutes. I’ve been able to get more creative with the things I do with my daughter. I’ve been able to cook more often. I’ve even started planning my 2022 collections! This hiatus has truly shown me the importance of using my time wisely.

I challenge all of you to try taking a break or even lessening the amount of time you spend on social media. Set a few goals to complete within that time, even if it is just cleaning out your closet. Replace your screen time with things that NEED to be done. I promise you will feel much better and you’ll soon find yourself not “needing” social media.

Love,

Autumn
