In this episode, Alex talks about the brain drain caused by social media and the negative impact getting sucked into social media has on productivity, a problem that Alex understands well. Despite being aware of social media addiction, occasionally, Alex still finds himself zoning out and scrolling for far longer than he intended. Fortunately, the 10 strategies he shares in this episode are helping him to greatly reduce how often that happens. THE AIRBNB BLUEPRINT CONSULTANT - CONTACT US https://airbnbblueprint.co.uk/join/  KEY TAKEAWAYS Social media addiction is very real and a problem for most people. Even when people know they can easily get sucked into spending too much time onsocial media, most of them still find themselves doing exactly that, at times. If you don’t create some sort of structure for yourself, the alluring freedom of working for yourself and choosing your own timetable becomes a trap.Use time blocking, to stay organised and improve your time management.Prioritise your tasks the night before. Don´t be afraid of turning off your notifications for a couple of hours. Once you have done it a few times you will realise that you don´t miss anything important by doing this. Focus entirely on each task and avoid switching between apps or platforms.Yoga, deep breathing exercises and meditation all train your brain to stay calm and focused. If you are bored, do some yoga stretches instead of scrolling on social media. Balance is essential. Set boundaries between your work and personal life. If you only work, you will burn out.
