Social Media Kills Original Thought

What does social media do to your brain?

Rot…obviously. Just ask Amanda Goetz, who said this on my podcast:

“ I used to open social media first thing in the morning…And just like that, my brain stopped coming up with original ideas. Instead, I’d find myself scrolling through everyone else’s thoughts.”

As a creative—someone who writes content, builds business plans, and writes books—that kills our ability to think for ourselves.

We have to guard our original thinking time. Ruthlessly.

Now, she treats social media like a business tool. She resists that slippery slope—especially with Instagram, where all her friends are. It’s too easy to get sucked in.

Originality matters. But to protect it, you have to build systems that support it.
