I'm definitely feeling LinkedIn burnout.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about the impact The Social Dilemma had on me.
After watching the film, I immediately deleted my Twitter account, and logged out of and un-bookmarked Facebook and Instagram. I haven't been on either since, with no urge to return.
LinkedIn is different. I understand and appreciate the value of LinkedIn to my professional life. I get many new speaking, consulting, and contract opportunities specifically by being active and relevant on LinkedIn.
Especially in the last twelve months or so.
People see what I write, how I think, why I do what I do; they're intrigued; they reach out; we have a conversation; and a collaboration happens.
In other words, LinkedIn is very different from other social media channels. It's not something I can drop as easily.
And, lately I'm finding myself not wanting to be here.
Normally, I look forward to sharing ideas and perspectives, reading what others have to say, and engaging in discussions.
But lately I'm just not feeling it.
That said, I have enough experience to remember that everything is impermanent (yes, everything).
This feeling of burnout will not last forever. Something or someone will spark something somewhere to shift the momentum.
When will that be? Don't know yet.
