Social media is my escape, but it's also my biggest distraction, but it's also my job, but I also like to scroll for fun, but I also hate it, but I also can't imagine living without it, but it's also so bad for my mental health but I also learn so much from it.
Help. 🙂

We don't talk enough about how people who work in social have to try and remain productive all day when our job surrounds highly addictive and highly distracting apps.
Social media managers' notes apps are basically digital junk drawers. 📝
They're all URLs, half-written captions, reminders, and ideas that never see the light of day. 🙂 👍
Social media manager: "Urgh, why does my head hurt?"
Narrator: Meanwhile, they've spent the last 8 hours moving between a big screen, a medium-sized screen, and a tiny screen, blinking only once they've manually shut their eyes with their fingers.
90% of working in social media is trying to explain a trend to people who haven't seen the trend and trying to make it make sense when you're not really sure how it makes sense in the first place.
Social media tip: Just because everyone is jumping on a trend, that doesn't necessarily mean you should too.
Make sure that it still feels on-brand, otherwise, it's okay to skip it.
