This month’s questions bring up some important social issues of our times. Social media addiction is real. And it’s time to take back control. This Ask Alexandria episode discusses some of the key social dilemmas of our times, including our relationship with fast fashion. And, yes, you can KonMari your plants. But have you ever heard of a plant throne?
As a society, we are addicted to email. We are addicted to social media. And it’s not by accident. Social media platforms are specifically designed to keep us engaged, to keep us scrolling. They’re designed to keep us on site for as long as possible. They cleverly manipulate us and, over time, social media changes how we think and behave. It affects our perception of truth and how we interact with the world.
A great place to start is to watch the recent Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma. It’s a fascinating look at human psychology. It’s the ultimate cautionary tale for our times. Like climate change, we can all be part of the solution. But we first need to acknowledge that there’s a real problem.
That’s right. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter… whatever platform you use, turn off your notifications.
Decide how much time you want to spend on social media & hold yourself accountable. By being intentional, you can start to redefine your relationship with social media.
Talk to your friends and family about social media addiction. Be open, honest and understanding. Create a judgment-free zone.
Consider who you follow on your social platforms. Do the posts that arrive in your feed add value to your life? Do they make you feel good about yourself? If they don’t, there’s a simple solution. Unfollow.
Here’s my challenge to you: see what one week without social media feels like…
There are only two industries that call their customers ‘users’: illegal drugs and software.
If you’re keen to bring more plant joy into your home… yes, you can KonMari your plants!
Whether you want to create a tropical indoor paradise—full of exotic plants—or you just fancy some fresh green touches to your home, here are a few things to consider…
Not well made & doesn’t last.
Produced at high speed & low cost.
Unethical factory working conditions.
High carbon footprint.
This is a lovely look at what the future of social media could be… 🌹
