Always be in control of your life...

I mute my phone...I am in control who and when I speak to someone

Totally! I also started to leave my phone on my desk, instead of taking it to my bedroom, and I bought a traditional alarm clock :) That also helped me a ton to unwind during bedtime and rather grab a physical book that my phone to scroll.

I like the feel of Bhance and was using it along with Adobe portfolio for my portfolio for a while but those shady terms Adobe put out last year along with their ramping up of using AI has me backing off Adobe products.

I'm back in that same position of wanting to move on from Instagram as I keep finding myself mindlessly scrolling when I don't want to be. I love seeing what my creative friends are up to on there so I would miss that, but Im wondering if I can just unfollow a whole of people who I don't interact with instead. Or just delete the app on my phone, that is probably more productive!

Thanks for sharing these! I’ve decided to stop posting new work on Insta and focus on my blogsletter, but it’s good to see these other options with different strengths to consider.

Blogsletters should be the top of our priority! Or separately, a newsletter and our own website. Something that will not perish if the platform doesn’t exist anymore or changes the rules of the game 👀

I totally agree… I am also in the transition phase of moving across on to behace and LinkedIn!

Especially LinkedIn is so underrated! But it kinda catapults you from that “amateur instagramer” to a more professional artist, or someone who aspires to be a professional 🙌

Good for you, Weronika! I recently changed my IG profile to private because of the creepy messages and comments. Instagram has become more trouble than it's worth.

Ha! Ha! I also just got a traditional alarm clock and I love it!

I wonder if this is going to be a trend!
