Can you unplug and disconnect from social media when your job is social media? š¬
Thereās always someone to talk to, respond to or engage with no matter what time of day or night it is. Turning on my OOO doesnāt stop me from scrolling, triple checking all my scheduled posts and engaging with my accounts! Itās a 24/7 thing.
Here are five tips for disconnecting from social media if you want to unplug for a couple of days over the holidays.
š¬ Set your boundaries upfront and have clear guidelines. Tell your clients in advance and set reasonable response time expectations.
š¬ Turn off your alerts. Turn off your notifications and allerts. Embrace the āDo Not Disturbā function on your phone, smartwatch, computer, etc.
š¬ Leave your phone at home when you donāt need it.
š¬ Schedule your posts in advance (Facebook business or creator studio is free.) Triple check all your scheduled posts, so you donāt get anxious about them.
š¬ Make plans in advance. Donāt coordinate through Facebook or Instagram, try a good old fashion phone call.
š If this still doesnāt work, delete all of your social apps! They are easy to re-install.
Enjoy your holidays, drink the eggnog and relax with your friends, fam and fur babies.
