Why we quit Twitter and Facebook!

WE OUTTA THERE.

The new year is a great time for resolutions. And a good time for thinking about what went well and what perhaps didn’t go so well.

It’s a good time to take stock. Which is what we did at Your FLOCK the people support platform this month.

We looked at everything we were doing. And what worked and what did not.

The events we produced and the ones we went to.

Huge thanks to everyone that invited us to talk at their events.

And that came to ours too.

We looked at all our marketing and sales channels. And used the Eisenhower Matrix (Time Management Matrix) to work out a plan of action.

The Eisenhower Matrix

If you don’t know what this is then. The Eisenhower Matrix is a task management tool that helps you organize and prioritize tasks by urgency and importance. The Eisenhower Matrix is a helpful technique you can use to prioritize your tasks. It is also known as:

– the Eisenhower Box,

– the Eisenhower Method,

– the Urgent-Important Matrix,

– and the Time Management Matrix.

Using the tool, you’ll divide your tasks into four boxes. Based on the tasks you’ll do first. The tasks you’ll schedule for later, the tasks you’ll delegate, and the tasks you’ll delete. You can use the task for everything. From business planning to college workload management. From your dating life to your financial fitness.

It’s something we at Your FLOCK have been doing for years. And that other successful entrepreneurs at Tech Nation were taught the other day. At the New year New You workshop too.

Thanks Varun. And Tcch Nation. 

So with the old “important / urgent” understanding. Re-inspired in us.

We realised that social media on Twitter and Facebook were heading into the time-draining world. Of “not urgent” and from a business POV “not important”.

We also noticed with disdain the changes being made by Elon Musk to Twitter.

And so we have decided to cease using Twitter for business (and not pay the £10 a month charge.) And also stop doing Facebook posts as well.

And instead DOUBLE down on LinkedIn.

Which is where most of our engagement and client relationship building is already.

(If you don’t follow us on there already – we invite you to from today.) 

We also realised that events are important to us.

And so we are very happy to announce we have our own Your FLOCK – the people support platform – event on in mid Feb to with three amazing speakers all discussing:

 How to make your marketing agency somewhere people will LOVE to work.

Which you can sign up for – for FREE – on LinkedIn – with one click.

Or through Eventbrite and get the recording too.

So please come along to this event – which is online – so as many marketing and creative agency owners can attend as possible.
