does anyone around here use Finch? pasting my lil thing here.

my next goal: breaking my addiction to mindless social media usage. as someone whose job is social media.

wish me luck, sweet void.

tiktok is suddenly becoming my #1 social platform. i am having the hardest time separating my interests into neat categories but think i'll use that platform for nostalgic music posts and eventually figure out how to integrate my photography.

here's my basic framework for wrangling my brain:

1) walk before you run. literally and metaphorically. get in shape. start by walking.

2) journal every morning. sit with your thoughts for 30 minutes. this is the single greatest thing i've done for myself in the past 3 years.

having no idea how this website works and assuming nobody will read these makes me feel like i did when i started my music blog back in 2005. the best part was the lack of commenting system. just pure output with no consequences. maybe i should try a pseudonym.

i semi-recently came across a business coach who deleted all of his social media and relies on a robust newsletter system for sales along with an ACTUAL BLOG. like on his website. a thing i didn't realize people still do. because i'm brainwashed with zero available mental bandwidth after 10 AM.

i've been wanting to make a video series talking about some of my recent life strategies and philosophies, but any time i open instagram or tiktok i immediately get sucked into the vortex of extreme algorithmic social media and can't manage to find my way out of the chaos. maybe... words... better?

this feels like a good place to start workshopping some topics i've wanted to dive into while Getting My Shit Together.

now more than ever we need to focus on finding our purpose so we're better prepared when the world crashes down around us.

hello new world! i have claimed my name and will now humbly lurk until i figure out what’s happening here ✨
