Ignore it

It wasn’t that long ago that there were only a few ways to communicate with another person: 1) Face-to-face, 2) via a handwritten or typed note, and 3) the telephone. Let’s think about what that list might look like now:

  • Email
  • Texting
  • Twitter
  • Facebook
  • Slack
  • Instagram
  • Snapchat
  • Whatsapp
  • Youtube
  • Xbox Live
  • Message boards

That’s a truncated list, and it doesn’t even consider all the ways you are communicated to, primarily via the omnipresent advertisements that exist on every single one of those platforms.

But you know what? IT’S OKAY TO IGNORE IT.

I mean, I live in the South, and I understand that maybe some people have a hard time with that, but this is survival. If you don’t get used to ruthlessly ignoring the chatter associated with those things I listed above, you’re going to miss out on some of the best things that life has to offer.
