Are we 90 yr old doom scrollers, Champ?

The other day LS, a Modern Maker, dropped a bomb in one of the community channels.

It got me thinking. Assuming we live until the age of 90:

- We sleep 288 months.
- We spend 126 months at school.
- We cook for 36 months.
- We spend 27 months in the bathroom.
Meaning we have 334 months of free time.

Of which we spend a large% doom-scrolling on social media.

We train ourselves to be chronically distracted.

So ask yourself.

How much would you pay for social media?

Let’s assume you pay $40 for LinkedIn monthly. And you spend 2 hours on average per day for 30 days.

$40x2x30 = $2,400.

That’s $2,400 per month. Now that’s in perceived value in terms your time.

Is social media worth $2,400 of your finite time?

When you’re 90, do you want to remember doom-scrolling, or other more valuable moments?

That’s something to think about. The moment I realized that my time was best spent on:

- Family
- Hobbies + interests
- Serving existing and new clients
- Living more, working less
There was a shift in me. Which made me restrategize how I used social media.

And I doubled down to use it for what it was - a tool to help me earn enough to live a happy life.

No more, no less.

That’s one of the reasons I strapped into my email list this year, making it my primary platform of choice.

And get leads to turn to customers and clients automatically.

Without:

- Being stuck in the DMs
- Doing sales calls
- Engaging like a mad man
Simply writing - which is what I enjoy the most.

And once someone opts in, then the rest is handled for me.

With that I can spend more time on what I value more.

Now, if you’ve been considering the above for some time, the Daily Client Engine might be for you:

It’s available for another 72 hours before I take it down.

Power to you,
