Welcome. I spent the last 6 months doing exactly the same thing and was able to create enough time to start the company I've been talking about for years.
Social media is a curse on our society's mental wellbeing, even if it can be a very useful tool in spreading important information.
I'm actually working on a book which documents my process I developed to do this for myself. Mental models, different perspectives on your habits and vices, etc. Please let me know if you have anything that's worked for you. I think this is something everyone should do.
I haven't seeked help from professionals yet but I will definitely consider it.
- whalesalad 7y agoUpdate your profile with an email address! I’d love to stay in touch.
- Bootwizard 7y agoSure! Edit: done! Can't wait to hear from you, I'd love some more ideas to put into the book.
- chrisnaoumidis 7y agoI'd love to read it when you've finished it! Approaching it from changing mental models, perspectives and learning new skills is how we view mental health issues management/prevention. If you're interested in this angle, you should try out one of our sessions at Mindset. It'd be really great to hear what you think of them.
- Bootwizard 7y agoI'm not a writer so I'll let you know when it happens. It may be years from now, but I'm steadily working on it! :) I'll check out Mindset, thanks. (I couldn't find it on google, send a link if you don't mind)
- agota 7y agoYou should create a landing page so that people who are interested in the book could subscribe and get updates.
- Bootwizard 7y agoI was thinking of making it a blog because that's kind of how I've been writing it for myself. And then organizing and compiling it into a book.
- agota 7y agoThat's also a good idea which would allow you to get feedback. I recommend you to read Taylor Pearson's article on how he approached writing and marketing his book: https://taylorpearson.me/jesusmarketing/ https://taylorpearson.me/jesusmarketing/ A shorter version written by me can be found here: https://www.writersincharge.com/taylor-pearson-sold-5000-copies-book-one-month/ https://www.writersincharge.com/taylor-pearson-sold-5000-cop...
- chrisnaoumidis 7y agoI'll be waiting! It's only on the Apple App Store at the moment, if you search Mindset on the App Store it will be the first non-ad app.
- Bootwizard 7y agoAhh unfortunately I don't have an iOS device. Is it on MacOS too? I have a Macbook for work
