Taking a break from Twitter

After the initial honeymoon with using Twitter and the stimulation of finding other people posting information and ideas, I found for the past few days that I needed to pause.

One reason was practical: I have a lot of homework to do. I end up spending too much time when I start reading Twitter. I read tweets which link to other information and then end up spending all this time reading or watching stuff.

But I can’t just waste huge gobs of time like that every single day. I have to take breaks.

So I did for a few days but today I feel I needed a dose and – there it was waiting for me. It feels good. Twitter is such a pickup. I love that there are people aware of all the bullshit and lies. People standing up and speaking truth. People providing facts and information that is blocked from the oligarchy-controlled Big Media.

I got my dose, feel better, and can continue with my homework.

There’s probably something about this: My brain needs to do different things. I have to do analytic activity (programming). I also have to do creative activity (playing music). It seems like when the mind gets too saturated in one track that things begin to stagnate.

I don’t know what exact category of mental activity Twitter falls into, but I’m finding that Twitter is one important area that I need to stimulate. But just like all the other areas it has to be balanced with everything else.

Thanks to all the people on Twitter with their excellent tweets and information! I love you guys!
