Been off instagram for a week and feel like I broke an addiction & have more time to read. Anyone else done a similar thing? Problem is it’s helpful in our industry to be plugged into that feed

You can actually have multiple accounts on IG. I turn off the notification and switch into my "work" account where I follow brands and my client's competitors. So far it's been helping me with the addiction

Although it’s important to be plugged, it’s important to experience the world through a non social lease. It’s good to take a cleanse every once and a while. I did it for a week not too long ago and found myself paying attention to so many better things

I subscribe to their blogs and read about the updates. No need to physically be on it every second of the day to know how it works and what can be achieved from the platforms.

I do have a work account like SM1 to follow competitors and turn off the notifications for IG. It does help

Lens** not lease. I’m an AD for a reason

Unfollowing everything to just people I know IRL and a handful of brands/design blogs I love. Bye to all the influencer type accounts. We’ll see how this changes my experience.

I took a break for 7 months. Best decision ever.

I’m depressed. Nothing unique about my depression - I’m in big law, my career defines me, when I’m not working I can’t find the will to get off the couch, I’m sad or I’m numb…I know I’m the only one that can make a change to my life…I’m on antidepressants. Just extremely unmotivated and paralyzed. Self-help books are not for me, but I am curious - has anyone tried a guided depression/anxiety journal? Any recommendations if so? Or, if you have experienced the same, what steps did you take?

One of the hardest things to do in business and in sales is to have someone love what you do so much that they'll put their name on the line and refer you business.

That's a relationship you have to nurture.

And I bet that most of you have more than a handful of happy customers who would refer you business. The easiest way to get more leads and pipeline is to ask for referrals.

I started working in a agency two months ago, and I have two very big projects running simultaneously.

My Creative Director left for paternity leave, and left me with all the work, facing the client, going to shootings, editing. I've been working 15 days straight, no weekends. The agency hasn't given me any back up/someone I can team up with to do the job.

Is this normal? I'm used to have a partner, a copywriter or another creative working alongside. Keep in mind that I'm mid-level.
