Social media is a time suck. I’m not as bad as some, but I need to focus better. I think a lot of us do, frankly. Don’t you agree? Then let’s start a No Social Media During Work campaign! I’m pledging to abandon social media networks when I am at work, except for narrowly defined work purposes. And I’m asking you to hold me to it and slag me mercilessly if you catch me at it! And I’m inviting you to take the pledge, too! Here is my pledge. This feels like a big step. Here goes! (Find a form you can fill out for YOUR pledge here: http://larrysanger.org/2015/06/take-the-pledge/ ) I pledge, as of NOW, to abandon social media networks when I’m at work! Pledge with me! I am at work weekdays at least from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Eastern, taking noon until 1 p.m. for lunch; and also from 9:00 p.m. until 11 p.m.; on Infobitt. I want to do as well as I can on it! So I hereby pledge to abandon social media networks when I am at work. Hold me to it and slag me mercilessly (after your work) if you catch me at it! I'm posting my pledge on my own main social networks: https://twitter.com/lsanger https://www.facebook.com/larry.sanger http://www.quora.com/Larry-Sanger-2 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO1wYfKnzdZ57ytz3C9zLlw Hold me to my pledge! Exceptions are very, very narrowly limited to: posts and discussion about Infobitt; also, holidays and declared sick days. Checking for responses on any network is permitted only if I recently posted something work-related, and I might actually get a response. I also promise to track my friends’ pledges. If I notice a broken pledge, I will call them on it! If you, too, want to take the pledge, then post a copy of your pledge to all social media networks you spend time on. Feel free to double down by adding your pledge to the comments on this video. Make sure to include your pledge somewhere on your user page, not just as a separate post, so you and others will not forget your pledge. Do make a video of yourself reading a written version of your pledge on any video networks of yours, like YouTube. Work hard, and then play hard! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y0o_zaviQ4
