I've spent the last decade building my freelance career largely through social media, and I'm starting to wonder if the constant engagement is actually helping or slowly eroding my ability to focus. Every time I post, I get a dopamine hit from likes, but the deep work that pays my bills happens only when I log off for hours at a time. Does anyone else feel like social media is more of a double-edged sword than a simple tool for connection? Is the trade-off between visibility and mental clarity worth it in the long run, or are we all just stuck in a cycle we can't break?
