Disconnected
Many people were suffering from withdrawal from their social media platform of choice when Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp all went down for a few hours yesterday. However what has long been pitched as a way to connect with other people turned into a poor excuse pretty quickly.
One of the silver linings of the pandemic has been the closer relationships I have developed with my family. Yes we have all been connected with each other on Facebook for years but since last March when my older brother had Covid and then my younger brother had a heart attack, I have resorted to the tried and true method of touching base as we now talk with each other on the phone ever week and my 1st cousins too.
I have also applied this to my business. Yes I am connected with quite a few of my referral sources on Facebook and the other social media platforms. However I applied the same rule that I use to connect with family to my business and I set aside an hour a day to call and touch base with my referral partners and clients. As a result I have developed some wonderful relationships that would never have happened if one just relied on social media as a way to connect with people.
Today I am thankful that I don’t rely on social medial for the most important relationships in my life, that hearing someone’s voice is 10 thousand times better than getting a like on your recent post and one of the best things I have done recently is cutting down my social medial to 3 blocks of 2 minutes a day.
