Podcast Episode 522: Is Social Media Destroying Our Ability to Focus?
Description
Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today we’re talking about a topic we’ve been thinking about a lot recently – whether social media is destroying our ability to focus. We reflect on how our daily routines were impacted by a week-long break from social media, and how we used the freed up time.
In this episode we discuss:
- Pain points that led to our social media break
- Effects of a social media detox
- Reflections on how social media has evolved
- Implications of excessive social media usage for law students
