The Maker Letter ·
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,
