Do you have a well-defined morning routine, that includes Social Media?  Tweet, Post, Check Status, Share, and Comment.  Then see who has looked at your LinkedIn profile.  Later, repeat – sometimes several times.

There is nothing wrong with connection.  In fact, Social Media is built precisely on this foundation.

Unfortunately, every minute spent on Social Media means a minute less on other activities.  We sometimes neglect to consider what is being displaced:

• Critical thinking time.  Instead, we crave the interruption from numerous social alerts and messages.
• Creation time.  Instead we have become, at best, consumers.
• Writing time.  Instead, we hav bcum xperts @ shortform txting.  And our ability to write atrophies.

Most importantly, we displace the development of real-world in-person relationships with (often) shallower online ones.  We spend more time by ourselves, “plugged in”.  And we accept that  Social Media lurking and stalking are becoming commonplace – and possibly even acceptable.
