That’s right, I deleted LinkedIn, X and Reddit from my mobile devices two days ago. Since then, I feel really great. I feel calmer too. For the last couple of years, I’ve accomplished more than my typical days. I write more articles daily. I don’t have TikTok, else I’d have deleted the app too. The only app I couldn’t delete is WhatsApp. That’s a tough one.

FYI, I completely phased myself out from Facebook and Instagram back in 2021. It has been more than three years now, and there’s no turning back for me. I never miss them. With LinkedIn, Reddit and X now completely gone from my mobile devices, I have more time to produce content and grow my authority on search engines and newsletters.

This also would mean that I will only be active on social media when I power my laptop on. Despite cutting a major time on social media, my followers are still growing at a decent pace. At one point yesterday, I whispered to myself saying that I should’ve done this years ago. I felt like I had overspent my time on social platforms in the name of ‘networking’.

Although I no longer have presence on the Meta platforms, I don’t have intentions to completely phase myself out of LinkedIn, Reddit and X just yet, but soon I definitely will. Once all my advisory firm and Internet platforms are stabilised, I can safely say that I will no longer be as active as I used to be. Maybe I am at the age where things out there are more fun than what’s on the screen.
