How do you manage screen time for yourself?
Amping up my efforts as a storyteller and creator who has to use the pixels for my way of life, I have little choice in being plugged in a lot.
Being Amish isn’t in the cards for me.
However, after a phase one edition of online engagement (2010 – 2021) I have been able to look back and see the toxic trap it can (and most often does) become.
So my balance?
Post and run or don’t even look back until the next SCHEDULED broadcast.
Another thing has been to reframe the brain to accept that this new system is plenty of dopamine for your old buddy Jimbo.
The balance I guess then is between addict and junkie.
The line principles and necessity is certainly very very thin.
Stay strong my friends.
Now, Go Play!
