You must have noticed that I was vanished from the Social Media for a long period. Haven't written any new blog post, not updating social networking sites much either. I know you people missed me and also upset with me for that, but I want to share with you today why I did that. Because I feel may be social media is stealing time for your real life priorities, but you haven't noticed or got addicted to it.
Why I kept myself away from Social Media
1. My Priorities: I am not saying spending time on social media is useless, but it's not among most important priorities for many people including me. I know there are many social media experts out there who'll try to convince you that if you are not active on social media, you are missing something great, but let me tell you the truth- that's far from the truth. To me inspiring people in real life is more important than inspiring online. Spending time with my family and friends is more important than interacting with new people on social networking sites. Reading books is more important than surfing through overwhelming number of internet articles.
2. It's Okay Not to Blog: If you are earning pretty good from your blog or you are rich enough not to worry about earning, you can go for writing blog posts whole day long. I am not against sharing your story occasionally with the world, but be careful whether you are ignoring your real career to give time to blogging. If you think blogging is the easiest and best way to make money, be famous, make a difference - you are wrong. For my business more time I spend talking to people, better for my success and also for success of those people too. So I decided not to blog much.
3. Don't Just Post What You Love, Do What You Love: Disadvantage of being addicted to social media is people write blogs, tweets or update about what they love so much, but they forget to spend time doing what they love. So if you love to sing, dance, write, play or any'thing'; don't just go on writing blogs or updating on those, rather spend more time singing, dancing, writing, playing or doing that'thing'. So I concentrated more on inspiring and helping people to live their best life than updating about it.
4. I Need Time to Think: We all should have some time to think - think about our days, our life. What are our values, what are our dreams, what are we doing for that. How can we do something better. We all need time to talk to ourselves. 'Retrospection' is very important to discover our best self. But when we are signed up to 'n' number of social sites, and updating every little activity like 'eating','sleeping',etc; catching up with thousands of contacts, posting photos and videos; how can we get time to think? Day can't be bigger than 24 hours.
5. Avoid Distraction: Though I love social media very much, I find it very distracting too. When I read some angel blogger's success story I get hooked to improve my blog, improving content,design, SEO, subscribers, facebook fanpage followers, page views, google analytics, google adsense....
When I open twitter in the morning, and find an interesting post on mashable, I went on reading the article, and suddenly notice a compelling trending story, which tells me names of 20 sites through which I can build my online brand and I went on checking those sites...
So on and so forth. But at the end of the day, I feel guilty because being distracted I neglected something which was more important to me.
So is this the farewell post in my blog? Will I delete all of my social networking accounts? Nope! He he! I won't do that. Why? Because I love you people. I met many amazing person while using social media. You really mean a lot to me, how can I abandon you? I will just be more focussing on my offline affairs for coming few years. Hope you can understand and keep loving and supporting me as you always did. Share your view on my decision.
