"I make more phone calls.".... 100% I started doing this as well. Wonder why that is ?

For me, less parasocialization = need more talk time!

you nailed it.

i missed your way with words.

the "not thinking in posts" is real. since i've been posting again consistently, i notice all of my life experiences become posts. i was getting my wisdom teeth sawed out of my face the other day and my mind was already crafting the content about it.

💛 I love words but lately I’m wishing I was a better cartoonist … (and that is a late in life wisdom tooth removal!)

not too late to become a cartoonist! i took cartooning lessons as a kid. good fun.

Thanks for putting this so eloquently and also reminding me all the reasons a break is a productivity increase vs a decrease. The return inertia is so real too.

I enjoyed this so so much!! ✨ And I’ve noticed the same thing about not posting. I’m taken out of the consuming spell. I even avoid the apps when I’m not in the mood to be posting. I think people think creating more will help with their addictive consuming but it’s tricky! The intake increases when you’re participating actively.
