"Leverage the Power Of Personal Connections" 

 
"Remember always that you have not only the right to be an individual;
 you have an obligation to be one." Eleanor Roosevelt
 

August 2009 Issue 15

Greetings!

Are you worried you're developing bad 
Social Media Time Management habits? 

TWS Tool Box 

This week I posted the following on my Blog,
 
Careful: Don't Forget "The Power of Personal Connections". This was inspired by an essay I read in the Wall Street Journal, by John Freeman, editor of Granta Magazine, titled "Not so Fast". This was adapted from his forthcoming book, The Tyranny of Email coming out this fall.

This really hit me, as I see it happening all around me. He talks about how we are dangerously building some bad habits as a result of our excellerated social media activity.

Please take the time to read this and  think about the compelling case he makes for time spent social media-ing, taking the place of time spent connecting personally.

Social Media is a "relational tool". Leverage it to make relationships personal not automated.

Not so Fast John Freeman
