We all know that the internet can be an amazing place, but it’s also easy to get lost in.?
You might find yourself spending more time consuming content than you do creating it.?
If you feel like your creative side is being stifled by the endless stream of content on the web, then this is for you!?
Let’s explore why everyone needs to put down their phones and start creating something today — whether that be writing a blog post or starting a podcast, or ruminating on a new product to launch.
The internet can become a time black?hole
It’s easy to get caught up in social media, watching videos on YouTube, or reading articles that lead to other articles. Before you know it, hours have passed by and you’ve barely done anything productive for yourself.?
This can be especially problematic if you’re trying to write content for your blog but keep getting distracted by something else online.
Here are some tips for limiting the amount of time spent online:
We take a lot in and have to filter what we want to?save
Have you ever had a problem with information overload??
I know that I have, and I’m sure we all have.?
We’re inundated with information every day, so much of which is relevant to our lives, but only some of it actually ends up making its way into our long-term memory (or even short-term). That’s because we need to filter what we want to save and learn how to be more effective at using our time if we want the best results.
So, how do you deal with this issue??
Well, first off; create more than you consume.?
If you spend your life consuming content from other people or organizations without adding anything back into the world yourself, then there will never be any room left in your consciousness for new ideas or concepts; they’ll just get buried under all those other things floating around inside your head (and sometimes outside of it as well).

It’s easy to spend too much time consuming online and not enough creating
We can get caught up in the “next big thing” — what everyone else is talking about or doing, for example.?
We can compare ourselves to others — their success, their accomplishments, their lives, and feel like we aren’t measuring up or doing enough. And we can get caught up in what we don’t have instead of appreciating what we do have.
Start today creating something you love, to share with?others!
Now that you’re convinced it’s worthwhile to create more than you consume, here are four reasons why.
So, what do you think??
Is the internet a time black hole or is it just another way to connect with others and share ideas??
Do you find yourself spending too much time consuming online and not enough creating??
Time to CHANGE THAT NOW!
What do you want to create?
