I have been experimenting with cutting out Twitter almost completely: I have been almost exclusively logging in on Thursdays around the Optech Recap. It’s kinda embarrassing to admit how much time and focus that has freed up—it’s been amazing for my bigger and more complex projects. While it cut back a ton of noise, I also miss having a finger on the pulse of what’s on people’s minds and what ideas are being discussed.

I think cycling it on and off might give the best of both worlds. One day per week of twitter use paired with a well curated list would probably be just enough.
