So here I am doing some work when all of a sudden I couldn’t access Facebook and Instagram. I tried most if not all browsers, but they’re all the same ——

I just recently learned about this trick and I’m just excited to share it with you especially to moms like me who only have one phone and that phone is constantly being used by the child for watching Youtube educational videos and interactive games (don’t bash me! Lol!)
It was just so freeing when I first learned about this, and how coincidental it is that it’s Independence Day today. Coz before, I used to step out of my office, go to my son, “beg” him to let me use “his” phone just so I can update my Instagram account! (I really need to buy a new phone or have the busted one repaired — waahhhh!). Anyway, it’s just so freeing to learn about this. I can hop from one tab to the next and in an instant, I’ve already updated my Instagram on my laptop without having to get my phone. I know there are apps you can use like Planoly for example or Hootsuite but I just find this so much easier for uploading on a whim, right here, right now, when you’re already in front of your computer.
I think I started my year right by quitting social media – for at least a week now… and I plan to do more! I’ve actually been wanting to quit for a long time now because it has become quite toxic for me. Instead of doing other more important things, I find myself wasting precious time perfecting photos I want to upload and share, coming up with posts that can garner more likes, mindlessly browsing at Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. Social sharing is okay up to a certain extent especially if it offers valuable information that I need and especially if it makes me feel good, but if it doesn’t make my life better anymore, if it brings out negative feelings in me, if it’s not contributing anymore to my well-being and the well-being of my family, I guess that’s the time to call it quits. I’m not even “chismosa” in real life. I’m a quiet person. I mind my own business. And I more often than not don’t care about what my neighbors do. But with social media being open to the world, it’s like something is pulling me to eavesdrop or take a peek at other people’s lives and most of the time, the things I see just make me feel depressed about my own. But since it’s part of my job (I manage a lot of social media accounts for my clients), I really can’t quit it all together and that’s okay. What I mean is to quit my own personal social media which I’ve done for the past week. And here’s what happened: Continue reading
