Find your purpose. Protect your peace. Put your family first.
Three bits of advice you'll get this week. All confident. All contradicting each other.
A good life needs all three, in balance. Alone: purpose becomes martyrdom, duty becomes bitterness, self becomes, well. We all know that person.
An excellent step forward which should be acknowledged as I do criticise the government often.
Also a proper report from the BBC.
This is better.

But I keep coming back to: why would anyone think handing a screen connected to the whole world with no rules or restrictions would be a good thing for kids/tweens/teens???
I remember reading a number of news articles back in the day that basically said that the people who created social media apps and various games wouldnโt let theirs kids use them. Thatโs was enough for me - my daughter had no access to such things as a result. She only was allowed Insta when she went to college (and still not Snap).
This is such a depressing piece of research from @csjthinktank. When future generations look back on the fact that children were given unfettered use of smartphones they will shudder https://t.co/zRI4wP1XKr
Luckily, she found her right uni. Other schools are just starting to ban technology in the classroom, her uni has all along. Kids there make conversation. About the homework. Sheโs in paradise.
I honestly donโt understand how parents have let this happen? My daughter has only now been allowed social media of any kind because she went off to uni. Her phone has always had time limits on apps, etc. But she was the only one she knew of at her secondary school with a locked down, monitored phone.

That said, I did, sort of learn my lesson the hard way with my first book. If the acquisions team for a potential publishing house is traumatised by the first chapter, it's not likely to sell well... I might have free "reign" as an author, but so do readers, when they opt not to read something.
@asymmetricinfo Even though I write non-fiction, when I start my next chapter, I want to be wearing a crown, or at least tiara. I'll take my "free reign" for the bling!
I need your help! Who should I be following here?
My feed is feeling like the same 3-5 people over and over. I've just gone through the list of people I was following & discovered that at least 1/3 - if not closer to half - haven't post in a year+. Help me branch out!
