Without Twitter (I shut down my account in early June, 2023) , what do I do now?
Well, I go outside more, wash my dishes, organize, go on bike rides, and talk on the phone more.
In this video below Jon Wayne talks about getting away from always being in the thing you wanna make (in his case, BEATS), and getting out and doing things that lend itself back to making beats.
Living a rich, well rounded, cultural life adds to your art.
Marlee Grace wrote about having someone else manage her Instagram:
I found that as I didn’t have access to my Instagram my interest in sharpening my website and offering came into clearer focus. I opened up my books for creative advising, saw opportunities for new classes, and started organizing plans for a new website. My ecosystem is so much more than an algorithmic grid.
Now that I’ve stopped focusing on tending to an app that many people don’t even use, I now have more time to work on things that can generate income, or give me joy, or fuck, just make my kitchen look nice.
And it’s not just about monetizing my hobbies or some shit. If anything it’s about not working – more bike rides, more running in the woods, more calm, casual conversations with friends.
So when it is time to work, I’m my best, most fulfilled self.
