MAKING MONEY ONLINE

hey y’all. i decided suddenly to make this post because i know it could be super helpful to people out there who might be struggling for money, or even those who just want to earn some extra cash on the side. i’ve been doing this for about 6 months and while it’s not full time or even part time work, it’s extra money that you can use for food, hobbies, gas, etc.

a lot of these sites i am about to list pay very little (we’re talking pennies or dollars) but it accumulates over time if you’re willing to keep at it. in combination these are all good sites to just leave in an open browser or tab and just do the tasks passively as they come in or as you feel like it. half the time i’m playing the sims on one monitor and earning money on my other monitor.

anyways here we go! these are in no particular order; just in the order that i think of them. i will include my referral codes but don’t feel obligated to use them!

Prolific - this one is my favorite because i have had the most success with it. there are a lot of survey sites out there that will kick you out mid-survey after you’ve already invested so much time into them because you’re “not qualified” to answer the questions. prolific is the opposite. you sign up, fill out your profile, and the surveys that fit your demographic will come to you. most of them only take a few minutes to complete but the payout is better than most other survey sites out there. the surveys come from academic researchers who use your data anonymously for studies. some days you won’t get any studies, and some days you’ll get several. you can cash out to paypal once you reach $5. keep a prolific open in a tab and it will alert you when a new study is available!

Slicethepie (non-referral link) - i discovered this one recently and it’s one of my favorites. the pay is very little; i’m only making 4c per review right now but i’m told the pay goes up the more you review. all you do is sign up and get paid to write short reviews for clothing, get paid to watch movie clips or commercials, or get paid to listen to new music (whaaaaat). it’s one of the more fun ways to make money. it takes a couple minutes and you earn a few pennies after each one. those quickly add up!

Usertesting - this one is really good if you manage to qualify for the tests, which can be hit or miss (mostly miss in my case). it requires a microphone and being okay with recording your screen and sending the info to a company. basically, people pay you to test our their websites and make comments about it. they’ll ask you to go to their website and look for something specific, and you have to voice your thoughts about the site out loud as you look for what it is they asked for. the pay is $10 per test which is amazing, but you have to take a pre-screener test to qualify for them. overall i’ve made maybe $40 total by working passively (not every day) in the last 6 months but hey - that’s a tank of gas.

more under the cut!

rev - if you’re a fast typer, a good listener, and have some time on your hands, this is a pretty good option. rev is a transcription service, so you listen to some audio and type out what the people are saying, and then get paid for it. some of the audio is garbage which is why they pay people to transcribe it, but if you have the time you can make a few bucks. just make sure you take it seriously because if you somehow appear to be “below average” at this, they will terminate your account. the amount of transcriptions that appear varied so you just have to keep an eye out.

GG2U (non-referral link) - this one is pretty dope. sign up for free trials, install and play video games, take surveys, watch videos, and earn points. 100 points = $1. within 5 minutes of signing up i had $7. just be certain to cancel any trials before the trial period ends so you don’t get charged.

amazon turk - not gonna lie, i have not been able to achieve this one, but i have personally seen people make hundreds and thousands on this platform. if you don’t know already, mturk is where clients post microtasks for humans to do that robots cannot yet achieve. if you are willing to put in more work than me and figure it out, check our /r/mturk or do some googling before pursuing it.

Ibotta (non-referral link) - (get a $20 welcome bonus if you use my referral and scan your first receipt) this is an app that offers cash back for shopping at the stores listed on ibotta. you buy an item from the store listed on ibotta, can your receipt into the app, and boom you get cash back.

qmee - this one makes chump change but it’s worth it. you complete surveys for some change (50c or somewhere around that) and that’s it. there’s also a browser extension; i use this more than the surveys. the extension pops up on the side of your window whenever you search something on the internet - but only if it’s something that qmee is looking for. and occasionally it offers a few pennies if you click on the link. best part is you can cash out no matter how much you’ve made. i cashed out 32c the other day lmao.

inboxdollars (non-referral link) - i don’t know if it’s just me, but this website only works on firefox for me. my chrome hates it. but anyways, this site provides very passive income. i do not recommend the surveys; they’ll have you answer a bunch of questions and you think you’re going to finish it and get the $$$, but then it kicks you out because “you’re not qualified”. the ways to earn that i like are watching videos in the TV/videos tab and playing the games in the games tab. after you watch x amount of videos or play x amount of games, you get a scratch off ticket. i usually get about 15c from them, but it’s something. when i first started i worked my way about to $50. they send you a check in the mail.

redbubble (my shitty store) - y’all know about this one already i’m sure. if you’re creative and think you can make a design for shirts and accessories, go ahead and make an account! you might make zero money, you might make a few bucks every couple months, or you might make a couple hundred. it all depends so this one is really a gamble, but still worth looking at if you’re into that sort of thing!

crowdtap - haven’t used this one in a while but i will be getting back into it. you take surveys and answer questions for brands and receive points in return. you need to accumulate 500 points before you can begin cashing out, which will take a while. after that, you can redeem the points for gift cards to amazon/sephora/walmart/etc, use the points for a subscription service, or use the points to donate money to a charity.

swagbucks (non-referral link) - this site is wild and just like mturk, i have yet to master it, but have seen others do so. it’s another typical survey site very similar to inboxdollars listed above. you can take surveys for swagbucks (points), watch videos, use their cash back feature, etc.

vindale research (non referral link) - similar to prolific. it’s surveys from researchers that pay a few dollars for you to answer some questions. length of survey varies. each survey generally pays aroud $1. there is also a jobs tab that gives a list of jobs in your area.

submittable - this one is a recent discovery. my first article was rejected but i’d like to share this one anyways in case someone would like to pursue it! there’s a large list of writing and art contests mainly. a lot of them don’t seem to be offering pay but the ones that do offer a huge payout if you win the competition.

cambly - if you have any type of skill in teaching other languages, being a life coach, of just have any knowledge you think you can pass along, cambly might be for you. when you sign up there are two options, be tutored or become the tutor. if you want to tutor people, you need a webcam and microphone access. my connection never worked with cambly so i have not been able to personally try it, but i have seen people make a lot of money from teaching english to little kids.

ebates (non referral link) - another cash back option every time you buy something online. or you can link your credit/debit card and use it when you buy stuff in stores. so you get money for spending money. good stuff y’all.

lionbridge & appen - these two sites are basically the same thing just different companies. this is the ONLY two sites on my list that pay hourly. i believe it’s somewhere between $9 - $12? i could be wrong. but once you sign up, apply, and get approved, you could be doing a multitude of things, inducing: translation, transcription, social media evaluation, data collection, and more.

TIPS:

minimum requirements are internet, a computer, and a phone. if you have an extra laptop or computer that still works, set it up and let videos on inboxdollars or swagbucks run in the background. this way you are making money without even thinking about it. you could even just open the videos in another window and mute them, which is what i’m doing right now. you still get the credit for watching them but you don’t actually have to listen to them.

this is not a get rich quick and easy deal. none of these jobs are simple and you won’t be pulling in hundreds per day. it’s hard, annoying work. so don’t expect to be rolling in the dough.

if you can, create a second email for all those times you get asked to sign up for something or subscribe to a newsletter. this way your actual personal inbox isn’t getting spammed with ridiculous things you don’t care about. just check the second email once in a while to make sure no one has sent you anything important. if you choose to get email notifications for new paid surveys on whichever site, i recommend letting those go to your personal inbox so that you may see them. or use the second email and check it daily. it’s up to you!

even though these sites don’t pay a lot, when you use them all together you can get a decent amount of cash. i’ve seen people work entirely from home, pulling $1000-$2000 per month just by using sites like this. but obviously that doesn’t mean it will be the case for everybody. i do this stuff on the side and am happy with just making a few dollars per day.

if it ever feels pointless because you only earned 30c or $1 just remember this - it’s more money than you had five minutes ago. it’s something. it might not pay the bills but eventually it might buy you a coffee or sit in your savings collecting interest. however you want to use it!

CASH OUT IMMEDIATELY. as soon as you are allowed to transfer your money to paypal or wherever, do it asap. there have been times where sites will shut down or glitch out and you are unable to get back all that money you earned.

be careful with some surveys. if they seem fishy or gimmicky or are constantly offering you to sign up for a bunch of bullshit, exit immediately. it will get you nowhere.

do not use VPNs. this usually results in getting banned.

OTHER RESOURCES:

i cannot possibly list every single way to make money online because there is so much! i listed my favorites but please check out these other websites that provide even more information and opportunities. they’re the reason i know so much and have been able to earn money on the side.

down the rabbit hole you go!

r/beermoney (wiki)

r/workonline

r/flipping

the work at home wife

i hope this helps someone out there. i have a job but i don’t get enough hours so i try to make a little extra on the side utilizing all these sites. and i have bad social anxiety so anything i can do to work from the comfort of my own home is my ideal situation. as i said, you won’t make a lot of money to begin with, or even later down the line, but as i’ve repeated - it’s something. it’s $5 more than you had earlier.

again, hope this helps and please let me know if it does! and if you have any questions i can try to help you!

#work #workonline #this took so long to type lmao my hands hurt #please reblog and share the info because i hope it helps somebody!#i didn't know about any of this until months ago and i've made a good chunk of change since then #im gonna go lie down now lmao

How I Invest (And Why You Should Not Care)

I tweeted this yesterday –

I keep my equity investing simple –

1. High quality + simple businesses only 2. Rarely buy, very very very rarely sell 3. Equal sizing of positions at cost 4. <15 stocks + <3 MFs 5. No AGMs, no concalls, only annual reports

Has worked really well for me for the past 18+ years.

— safalniveshak.com (@safalniveshak) May 26, 2021

The response the tweet received was beyond my expectations. Check out the tweet, a lot of questions people asked, and my responses. Hope they are of some help to you.

Here is a little explanation on each point –

1. High quality + simple businesses only Here is what I mean by high quality (blue and green boxes are where I stay) –

Apart from good ROCE, profit growth, clean balance sheet, and good cash-generating capacity, I am also looking for a business that sells simple stuff, the nature of which is not likely to change drastically over the next few decades (but who knows!), and which also has a good growth runway ahead. Plus, the management has a good capital allocation track record and scores high on the integrity front. I do not have the heart or the intelligence to invest in ‘potential’ turnarounds or cyclical businesses. I avoid industries that I do not understand much – pharma, banking and finance, commodities – or business houses I do not trust much.

I do not put much weight on market capitalization while choosing stocks (have a mix of large, mid and small caps in my portfolio), except that I avoid penny stocks or those with low capitalization (like less than Rs 500 crore). Again, it’s a matter of personal comfort.

2. Rarely buy, very very very rarely sell I maintain a watchlist of stocks, which is largely a result of this process –

I buy stocks only when I find opportunities at valuations I am willing to pay. And when I say I buy stocks ‘rarely,’ such opportunities anyways do not come often. So the last time I bought a lot of stocks (mostly from among my existing holdings) was in March-April 2020. And then there has been a long period of inactivity.

As far as selling is concerned, I try to pick stocks that I would not have to sell, even when they become what people call ‘overpriced.’ Till a business continues to stand good on my quality parameters, I continue to hold. Else, when a stock becomes a large part of my portfolio (like more than 20%, I sell a part for rebalancing purpose). Here is my selling checklist anyways –

3. Equal sizing of positions at cost This is also a result of my need for keeping things very simple. I try to keep a maximum of 15 stocks in my portfolio and so the aim is to have not more than 6-7% of the total portfolio (which is 100% divided by 15 stocks) in each stock at cost (when I am buying a stock). Some stocks can go to 8-10% at cost, but those are rare.

Remember, I am talking about equal sizing at the ‘cost’ level and not the ‘current value’ level. My 6-7% holding at cost may grow to 15-20% and because of that some other holdings may come down to 4-5%, but that is not what I am tracking.

I agree that position sizing – which involves allocating capital as per your conviction with each idea – is a critical component of investing, but that is when you are doing it professionally or are full-time into it. Equal sizing – not worrying about individual positions, but ensuring that each stock idea is worth having in the portfolio – has worked well for me, and so that is what I continue with.

4. This is easy, and is again a result of my need to keep things simple. I have gone to 16-17 stocks sometimes, but have mostly kept it under 15. With two human kids and a pet at home, I find it difficult to manage more than 15 more crazy ones in my portfolio.

As for the mutual funds, again I try to keep the list small. One of the three funds is an ELSS (for tax-saving purpose) and the other two are diversified equity schemes. Mutual funds are around 10% of my equity portfolio, and I use them as a diversification tool (like international stocks, smarter people managing a part of my savings, etc.).

5. No AGMs, no concalls, only annual reports One, I am lazy enough to attend AGMs and conference calls. Two, I have been there done that for the first eight years of my investment career – while working on a job – and find not much incremental value in these events and activities. Third, for the kind of businesses I want to own, annual reports do a decent enough job. Fourth, I have also set Google Alerts for companies in my portfolio and watchlist and so if there is an important, meaningful news on them, I receive them anyways.

This is not to say that AGMs and conference calls are not important. They may be for you. For me, annual reports are enough.

Wait, What’s My CAGR? Well, what I just described above has worked really well for me for the past 18+ years. And this has helped me earn enough to pay all my liabilities, quit my job, work on things I love, rarely “work,” spend time with my loved ones without worrying where the next paycheque will come from, have 55388 unread emails in my inbox and still get away with it (though I sincerely apologize to those whose emails I have not answered yet), and freely write this post (with a cheeky headline) without the guilt of anything in it being made-up, because nothing is.

Now, who cares about CAGRs anyways?

Investing, my dear friend, is a very personal and lonely affair. I enjoy this loneliness – solitude – and also the simplicity that allows me to focus on more important things in life. This is ‘my’ way of doing things.

Your way is your way. If you know what you are doing, do it. Without any guilt.

Nobody cares. In a few years, even you won’t.

So, play your part and enjoy till it lasts.

* * * That’s about it from me for today.

Stay safe.

TGIWednesday and being filled with appreciation

TGIWednesday News

It’s the little things when it comes to what I am most appreciative about! Warm food, chasing that first sip of perfect coffee, dessert, ok and how you feel after a work out, that too. The very word appreciation means that you’re thankful and you recognize the value in what you have and even in the terms of money, how that value grows. Often being in this thankful place actually attracts even more to be thankful for! Every day in every way I lean into the positive and strengthen our energies towards what is progressive and moving forward. I am appreciating changes in all areas of life and I am in this moment while leaning into the future. I also appreciate you more than you know! That you’re evolved enough, patient enough and smart enough to join me on this journey; keep the faith moving forward. This entire month and Thanksgiving is about pausing to give thanks, be appreciative and kind to one another. Celebrating a bountiful harvest is what would bring our forefathers together to say grace, pause and dare I say, enjoy. What are you appreciating today now more than ever? Focus on that and we’ll say prayers for more of that please! Expect a profound bountiful harvest this Autumn from our long awaited new Audio MP3 which is sure to stir up, invigorate and increase your very reasons to have appreciation! Pass the cranberry please! This month's release of MyBeliefWorks for Experiencing a Bountiful Harvest is only days away! If you've purchased MBW audios in the past, look for the VIP 48-hour pre-sale email in your inbox on Monday and in next week's TGIWednesday, the launch will go live to everyone with our usual, never-to-be-offered again introductory low pricing.

~ FILLED WITH APPRECIATION ~ I believe, think, know and feel that I am filled with appreciation. I know, when, where, how and why to remain in an appreciative state of being thus attracting more. I am ready, willing and able to cultivate more in my life to be appreciative towards and I am asking in all languages and throughout all time lines and so it is.

From the Fish Box

"Wow, Jimmy!

Today, for the first time in memory, I woke up feeling rested and content (before 6 am, no less). The last couple of days, I have felt a perceptible shift in the energies. I have no idea if it is the prayer, galactic, astrological, all or some of the above or what, but whatever it is, it is amazing. Since I felt compelled to write you, I'm inclined to attribute it to the prayers. Thank you, Jimmy. Whatever you've dialed me into, please keep doing it. I feel the boat is turning.

I was nothing short of a wreck on Saturday, and now, I have no thought or idea that connects to negative. I am in the present, with momentum, and full of gratitude.

Thank you Jimmy. Sending Lots of Love and Appreciation!" - Nichole

6 Tips to Deal with Digital Burnout in Today’s World

(Image: caio_triana)

Recently some readers told me that they have been feeling overwhelmed by the huge flood of information online these days.

I feel the same. This was why I deleted my Facebook page, though I’m back on Facebook for now (-_- the irony). It’s also why I unsubscribed from almost every newsletter, deleted various social media accounts, and simplified my entire site design last year.

If you use the internet a lot like I do, you probably feel digitally burnt out at times. Digital burnout is fatigue and stress caused by prolonged use of technology. As technology makes it easier to transmit information; as businesses adopt addictive web design elements to keep users on their site past the point of optimal use; and as the internet becomes more click-bait and reaction-focused rather than quality-driven (a natural occurrence when something reaches mass adoption), we need to be more conscious about how we use it.

Here are 6 tips to deal with digital burnout and navigate our increasingly digitized world.

1) Opt out of information you don’t need

The web has made it incredibly easy for information to travel. Within a span of minutes, we are flooded with information from 10 different websites as we click from one news feed link to another. At any point in time, we receive a flood of stimuli from consumer goods companies eager to market their latest products and services as the web is increasingly commercialized.

Be choiceful about what you let into your news feed and consciousness. I recommend to

Unsubscribe from sites you don’t read. This includes email lists and RSS feeds.

Do a social media audit. Unfollow pages you don’t visit anymore on your Facebook, YouTube, and other social media accounts. This helps you control the information that appears on your news feed.

Create a filter to delete emails you can’t unsubscribe from. Interestingly, there are still businesses, including reputable ones, that don’t let you opt out of their newsletters. In such cases I create a filter to delete their emails. Learn about email filters here.

2) Spend less time online

Unlike physical stores, the internet is open 24/7. No matter how long you’ve been online, there will always be emails to reply to, messages to check, and updates to read. As such it’s easy to get sucked into the online world as you refresh your social media news feed for the next update and follow a never-ending trial of content on YouTube and Facebook.

Set limits for your digital usage. For example:

Limit email to only twice a day, unless you are free or your work is email-based like customer support. I only check my email twice every day, in the morning and toward the end of the day.

Don’t visit social media sites unless you’ve completed your to-dos. I find that social media greatly diverges my attention and drains my productivity, after which I need to compensate by working late, which burns me out in the long run.

Set aside 1-2 hours per day where you do something away from the computer, like watching a movie, reading a book, meditating, or talking to someone. I recently watched Ghost in the Shell — it’s a decent movie despite the reviews, though it could have gone a lot deeper given the compelling backstory.

Disconnect after 10pm each day (or at least stop using the computer for work). Having a cutoff helps promote healthier sleep patterns.

Have a night out each week where you meet friends or go on a date.

The above are just examples. The point is to set boundaries between the digital world and your life. This will help you regain control over your life instead of being sucked into the online world every hour of the day.

3) Get a life outside of the internet

Because there’s so much going on online all the time, sometimes we can feel that being online is our life. That there’s nothing else we need to do because we have the internet. With so many videos to watch, stories to click, and Instagram pictures to see, what else do we need?

Are you living on your social media news feed? (Image: Instagram Feed)

Facebook now has a “Stories” feature where you can follow others’ updates, complete with pictures and videos (Image: TechCrunch)

But don’t confuse “the internet” and “life.” The internet is not your life; it’s a tool that enhances your life. Your life is your life; it’s bigger than what you do online. When you spend excessive amounts of time online, you will feel deprived, unhappy, even if you are connecting with many people like I do each day. That’s because the internet, while it facilitates connection, can never give you things that you can only get in real life, such as physical touch, face-to-face interaction, the ability to see and feel things in person, and contact with nature.

Not to mention, the act of staring at a digital monitor continuously while sitting in a fixed posture for hours on end is actually very draining. The human body, while adaptable, is not built to be holed up in a cubicle and held in a fixed position. Our eyes need to rest and we need to stretch our bodies, plus introduce physical movement.

Consider this: If you can’t use the computer today, what would you do instead? Spend a few hours each week doing these instead. The goal isn’t to deny our digitally-connected world, but to explore our interests outside of the web and to get in touch with the physical world. For example:

Is there anywhere you want to go? The beach perhaps? A neighboring town? Schedule a trip there.

Any friend you’ve been meaning to meet? Text him/her and plan for a meetup.

Any task you’ve been putting off? Work on this instead.

How can you meet new people? Even though you can meet loads of people online, it’s different from meeting people in person and having real life friends to turn to. Use the internet to facilitate friendships, not to replace real life contact with others. Read my guide to make new friends. More ideas here: Cooped Up Indoors? Get a Life with These 7 Tips

4) Opt out of social tools that don’t add value

How many social media networks are you a part of today? Facebook? Twitter? Instagram? Linkedin? Snapchat? Whatsapp? Line? WeChat? There are so many social networks today that it gets overwhelming. But just because everyone is using a tool doesn’t mean you have to use it. Decide what’s best for you and opt out of those that don’t matter.

Even though everyone uses Whatsapp these days, I stopped using it back in 2014. I stopped as it was becoming invasive to my personal space and privacy. Because anyone can add you on Whatsapp once they have your number, I was constantly flooded with work-related queries, even though my communications for work were always via email. Personal space was becoming an issue as I felt that I could never “switch off” from others’ messages, and there was this constant pressure (from others) to keep checking and replying due to the “Last seen online” and blue-tick, message-read indicators (back then you couldn’t turn these off). Whatsapp was no longer serving its purpose for me to keep in touch with just my close friends, so I just uninstalled the app and stopped using it one day.

Likewise I deleted my LinkedIn, Flickr, and emptied out my Facebook personal account. I just felt that they were adding a lot of clutter and didn’t serve much purpose for me, be it for my work or life. LinkedIn is more for corporate professionals, so it isn’t very relevant for my work. With Facebook, I still use it for its Facebook page feature (to connect with you guys) and messenger function, but I don’t use the personal profile feature.

I don’t expect you to drop these tools as Whatsapp and Facebook are important tools to stay in touch in today’s world. LinkedIn is particularly useful if you’re working in the corporate world.

But it’s good to think about the value that each tool adds to your life rather than blindly using it. What social media tools do you use? For each tool, does it serve or drain you? If it’s draining you, is it time to cut down on your usage or remove it altogether? Organize these social tools around your needs and life, not change yourself just to fit these tools.

5) Remove false urgencies

The digital world is filled with false urgencies. Every mobile app now has push notifications that pop up on our screen. Social media forces us to see updates we can’t opt out of. Messaging apps like Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger are invasive in their implementation, beeping with every message and making it difficult to turn off alerts.

False urgencies are problematic as they force us to drop whatever we’re doing, when most of these alerts are never important — not unlike a Quadrant 3 (unimportant) task masquerading as a Quadrant 1 (important) task. You then go down the rabbit hole where you click the alert, read it, and give a quick reply (which creates a loop when the person replies). Before you know it, your life has become a sum of reactions to your social media alerts while your time is at the mercy of the next person who texts you.

Your software and tools should serve you, not disable you. Restructure your relationship with digital media such that you are in control of your time and attention. For example:

Turn off recurring software updates. Only update an app/software when you want to. This includes Google Play Store’s automatic updates.

Turn off push notifications for apps you don’t really use.

Turn off notifications for Whatsapp and SMS, and only check for new messages when you want to.

Turn off alerts for email — you should only see new mail when you check your mail, not the moment it comes into your inbox.

6) Declutter

Last but not least, declutter.

As we spend more time on our devices, it’s important to organize our information in ways that’s easy for us to use. A huge benefit of digital tech is that we can easily replicate and store information with almost no consequences in terms of storage space. It’s also a con as we, after years of using our devices and accumulating lots of data, now have way more information than we can realistically manage.

Tidy up your PC and mobile devices:

Bookmarks: Remove bookmarks you don’t use anymore. Group useful bookmarks into topical folders. Use second- and third-level folders if you have to.

Desktop icons: Keep shortcuts only to the things you often access. A clean desktop makes it easy to get to what you need.

Apps: Uninstall apps you don’t use anymore. You can always install them if you need them next time.

Documents: Look through your files and sort them into folders. Delete stuff you have no use for anymore or drop them into an archive. Shift unimportant information onto your external drives and keep the bare essentials on your PC. Even though this decluttering will take a while, you’ll find it easier to navigate your PC once you are done.

Email: Delete and organize. Create labels/folders to sort your mail. Create email filters to file the same kinds of mail you often receive. Read my email management tips.

The key is to keep it simple. Simple for you to find, store, and use information.

End Note

Even though digital technology has its issues (blurring boundaries between people, reduction of personal space), it has been greatly improved our lives by making it easier for us to connect with others, share information, and reducing paper waste.

The answer isn’t to turn our back on digital tech but to learn to use it in a conscious way, in a way that improves our lives rather than draining it. For example I deleted my Facebook page last year and it gave me a lot of clarity and space to work on my Q2 goals (it was after deleting my page that I produced the new version of 30DLBL, created the new PE layout, and made some important business shifts). Yet I really miss the personal contact with you guys, so I’m giving Facebook another go now, while changing how I use the platform to see if it can net me a better result. I may well delete it again if it doesn’t work out, but at least I’m giving it a shot.

Whether we like it or not, digital technology is here to stay. Facebook will be around for a while, and even if it disappears one day, something else will take its place. The flood of information online won’t change anytime soon and will in fact worsen as more people use the net. So let’s figure out our boundaries and learn to use technology consciously, in a way that aids us. This way we can get the best out of digital tech and use it in the way it was intended — to enhance our lives, to help us grow and evolve.
