Here's what you'll discover:

Understand Social Media's Impact: Social media is designed to keep you scrolling, comparing, and reacting, turning streams, likes, and reposts into a "scoreboard" that can make you feel behind or like you're producing for the algorithm instead of yourself and your audience. Notifications frequently interrupt creative sessions, chopping them into "content moments," and fostering a "mental loop" that if you don't post, people will forget you

Implement Scalable Digital Detox Levels: Choose from three levels of detox: a micro detox (daily boundaries like setting two social check windows, turning off non-essential notifications, and keeping your phone in another room during sessions), a medium reset detox (a weekly content day to create and schedule posts, with only one hour for genuine engagement, staying off social otherwise), or a deep detox (a 7-day creative retreat where you take time off posting, delete apps, and focus on finishing music and sound design)

Prioritize Music Creation with "Make Music First, Content Second": Flip your workflow by recording your normal production sessions (e.g., screen recording with OBS) and then pulling 20-second content moments (like building a drum groove or a plugin trick) from those recordings, rather than making music for content. This approach ensures music comes first and content feels less forced
