This is so helpful, thank you! I tried the whole ‘post on every platform’ route and it didn’t take long for me to get so overwhelmed I couldn’t post anything at all. Now I stick to Substack and the occasional TikTok and I’m much happier for it.
Thank you for writing this and sharing the message. As a self employed neuro-diverse individual I find it incredibly hard to attend to the marketing side of things. And social media is nothing but pain! The perfectionist self is so true. I find all the 'advice' about what I 'should' or 'shouldn't' be doing really overwhelming and it sends me into a panic and then I fear that if I don't do it I will be a failure. It is good to know I am not alone 🙂
There is some value to being on all the platforms so that someone doesn't try to create fake accounts in your name. Being low activity on most platforms and focusing on a few is a wise approach. I'd forgotten about my childhood ADHD only to realize that all these systems I'd come up with to compensate, and that ADHD is my co-author. I've had so many insights since I realized its role in my life.

The overwhelm is real! Glad you have found what works for you!
