Social Media Marketing Snafuu

It has come to my attention that Twitter itself is no longer supporting recurring tweets, as it constitutes SPAM.  So I'm deleting my existing recurring tweets from Hootsuite.

I may continue to use Hootsuite to cross post content, but I am deleting my recurring posts.

So, that's it.  If I tweet something and you miss it, tough luck, it's not getting tweeted again.

Life Hacking etc...

A month ago I posted that I'd be making new weekly entries on my hobby progress with my knitting.  LOL, yeah... that didn't happen.

I actually became so overwhelmingly obsessed with the yarn therapy that I fucked off everything else on my to-do list.

On the one hand, there are much worse things to be addicted to.  On the other hand, an addiction is an addiction and by the very nature of its definition, it's disruptive to the rest of ones life.  It was even getting in the way of my being responsive to the Beloved One's affections.  Not to mention how it was getting in the way of my other mental health progress.  Although, I should note as a side that my depression has gone from severe to moderate since I started knitting again.

My therapist and I agree on weekly homework assignments to further my mental health recovery process.  This weeks homework assignment is to begin tracking how much I do of what on a daily basis so I can build up to the end goal of better time management and greater productivity overall.

This is the very nature of Life Hacking.

Here's what I've implemented so far:

Goal Setting; Lifetick - website:

Pros	Cons
Easy to use Task list breakdown  Complete tasks to achieve goal Status, Journal and Reports	Limited capacity free version Expensive full version No free trial period

I think I need to research better free alternatives for Goal Setting

Personal Metrics; DAYTUM - website:

Pros	Cons
Incredibly versatile Multiple options for charts and graphs so you can SEE what is being measured Inexpensive full version	Hasn't been updated since 2010 (the creators abandoned the project when they went to work for Facebook) Inability to customize data with color groups (all visual displays are a simple gradient of the same color)

Task List(s); TickTick - website & cross platform apps:

Pros	Cons
Cross platform - will work an any computer or device Effortless syncing across devices Supports multiple, color coded, task lists with room for notes and sub-lists Ability to set recurring tasks Ability to set due dates	NONE

That's right, NO CONS!!  Though I will be suggesting to the developers that 'sleep' and 'snooze' functions be added to the recurring function.

The one major hitch here is that I'm using three separate programs in an effort to achieve better time management overall, thus it's a tad counterproductive, but I believe the process is sound.  The task list tells me what to do, the metrics tell me how much time I spend doing things and the goal setting gives me a finished, polished project.

Overall, I'm very happy with the progress I've made in the last few days.
