Crossed 700 𝕏 friends today!
Before I started writing on 𝕏 I'd taken a break from social media for 7 years.

But I'm happy to report, it's going well!
Super grateful to have met so many kind, supportive and passionate people.

Since I got back from Vietnam last week I've limited the time I spend on X to 1 hour per day.
...and it's gone really well.
I've enjoyed my time on X a lot more and I'm doing just as much in half the time!
What's something you've done to improve your productivity recently?
