Personal Social Media... A Disease.

[Mr.B]

I joined Facebook and Twitter many years ago and used them to keep in touch with friends and family and follow people I found inspiring.

Then one day I found myself scrolling past the same posts I had already looked at 7 times that day, while telling my youngest (who was toilet training at the time) that I was 'busy' and would help him go to the toilet in a minute. Then it hit me, I had gotten addicted to this crap and my priorities were all out of whack.

I deleted Facebook and Twitter that day and haven't looked back.
