137: 10 Signs You Need a Digital Detox

Nov 4, 2020

Social Media companies are trading you like a commodity.

If you don’t know this already, I highly suggest you do some research into the AI platforms Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and all the rest use to keep you coming back.

Everything you see in your feed is carefully curated based on your habits and your thought patterns.

Since you are in business, you know how to use the algorithm to your advantage.

We teach this in our programs.  There is a specific way to use social media to make sure your customers and potential customers see your posts.

For those not in business, and those who are not careful with their digital use, it can be a dangerous hole to destruction.

In this episode we cover the 10 signs you need a digital detox and how to take one if you are a business owner. 

1. You feel a wired but tired feel.
2. You feel better on social media than off.
3. You obsessively open your phone and click the same app each time you open it
4. Your friends and family tell you that you “are addicted to your phone”
5. You can’t stop feeling bad about your business growth.
6. You are having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep and waking up.
7. You are exercising less.
8. Your eyes hurt when you look at nature.
9. Your relationships are deteriorating
10. Your screen time says you have a part time job looking at your phone.

How to not let your business balls drop while you are away

• Tell your audience you are taking a break
• Have a reason for the break
• Use texting app like Community and an email server like Mailerlite to keep in touch with your customers and potential clients
• Use the break to call your customers and touch base with them individually
• Get organized while you are off and plan be creative
