  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Simplicity Limit Social Media
    Social media is a great way to keep us connected with loved ones, makes us laugh, and helps us to learn new things. It can also take more time than we realize or intend to give. After doing this action for a few days now, how do you feel? What do you notice?

    Is this not social media? Do we see the conundrum?

    I don't know how I feel about no points for things you already do... 
    I am tempted to cheat... 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    Well, 
    I would like to say that simplicity requires courage. Being creative means (also) looking outside of your box and try new things. In this case the new thing is less "things". Tangible and intangible.
