Description

You know, it happens from time to time. We (or I) get overwhelmed by the lure of social media until we suddenly discover we have 3,542 SM platforms and are spending the bulk of our days mindlessly scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. Sure, the golden retriever videos are great, but come on... wouldn't it be better to head out for a walk and scratch A REAL LIVE ONE?


In this episode, there's nothing groundbreaking, just my thoughts about what our online lives might be doing to our productivity. I know mine has been impacted TOO MUCH. Hence, this post.


Social media can be wonderful, but if you want to learn more about the negative impact "living online" has on our vulnerable brains, check out these hugely informative links!:
