So I decided to quit social media for a month, even though my job depends on it, and instead went on the internet for 15-20 minutes just to get brand inspo, and to keep myself updated in the best way possible. Actually looking for exactly this gave me wayyy better insights than hours of algorithm-led rabbit holes I've been in for the past few years. Has any shift like this changed the game for you?
