![]() or Now I reached a point in my work where I’m kind of, you know, looking around a little bit instead of staring out the window, maybe now I’m staring at my phone. And I can totally relate to that of like, going back over and over again. ![]() We have all, as I said, have those moments of like, what, how much time did I really spend on here? In fact, 75% of women who responded to our survey said they check in several times a day. So yeah, in 2017 to 2018, I was like, really, really being confronted by the reality of the amount of time they spent there. And then in 2018, I had my first child, and then it hit me like, Oh, my God, what did I do with that much time, but I have to now spend with this little boy. So it just naturally I started to pay more attention to okay, yes, I’m spending too much time here. And then they started talking about social meeting, how how much time we were spending there. And I was reading people that wrote about productivity. Like, it talked about psychology and how, like the things that we’re using casinos to hook people into just gambling and playing. And I know, I don’t know, the author speaks of how some apps are designed to just be addictive. Yeah, I remember reading a book called irresistible by Adam alter, I think the author Skald. When did when was it as you got obsessed with your social media? At what point did you start to think? Hmm, maybe this isn’t all sunshine and roses? ![]() That can be a pretty quick, quick way to meet somebody and kind of get a feel for them. But to just sort of get a feel for somebody or to make those connections online. And if you kind of look at it that way, it’s really time saving, like you can make connections on Twitter that would take you years to make in real life, or to go through like a phone or a longer system. Yeah, I think a lot of connections get made there, right? There’s just like a huge amount of opportunities. In fact, I got my job up quite simple on paleo, the Spanish speaking sister of the gospel coalition, because of Twitter, because I was just sharing my stuff there. I just was amazed with the exchange of ideas that I could meet just anyone in the world who had an interesting thought and learn from them, or hear about things that were happening in real time on the other side of the world. And then Instagram, I was first obsessed with Twitter, after I learned how to use it. But Twitter is the one that that comes to me first. And I was just texting publicly basically, that I think that was the first thing I got, maybe I got a Facebook, but I don’t know, I’ve had several Facebook accounts. Nor in 2012, I was going back through tweets. I didn’t know how to use Twitter in 2011. Well, I remember I joined Twitter in 2011. And you could tell me, when did you first get social media? Do you remember your first account? And what was that like? So I was wondering if you could tell me if we could back that up a little bit. We did this survey of 1500 women and the number one issue women have is that they feel like they’re wasting their time on social media like that icky feeling after you’ve been scrolling for a while, and you kind of come to yourself and you’re like, what have I been doing? How much time have I been on here? Gosh, that gets us, doesn’t it? And I’m so excited to talk to you because of all the problems we have with social media. And I am joined here with Ana who wrote our seventh chapter, which is about rhythms. Hello, and welcome back to our book discussion of social sanity in an Insta world.
