Do you have a love/hate relationship with social media? For many of us, what used to be a useful tool or harmless diversion has morphed into something more complicated, so recalibrating your social media use calls for more nuanced advice than “just light it all on fire!” In Episode 133 of Edit Your Life, Asha and I talk about the what and how of managing social media, and also dig into the why. We share simple tweaks that will help bring your social media use back in bounds while suggesting ways to shift attention to your offline life.
