Does Medium Want Me to Have a Life?

It’s so hard to tell

What was my day spent doing before Medium? It hasn’t even been a month since I first heard about Medium and already it has changed my day to day life. Is this just a passing phase, or is my life from now on going to be spent absorbed in reading interesting articles on every topic under the sun, but never getting anything else done? Maybe it’s just me.

Not that I’m complaining, but I used to have a life in which I’d never heard about Medium writing. I read books, both digital and real hold-in-your-hand books. I talked to other people, had conversations and expressed my opinions and advice to real flesh-and-blood people.

I watched more television movies and tv drama. I do kind of miss that. I went more places. I miss that, too.

Now, my day is spent planning out what I will write next. If I have anything else scheduled, I’d better do it before I sit down to open up that screen to Medium. Then I begin writing. After that, I’ll be reading stories that catch my eye, oodles and scads of information I didn’t realize I needed. I write, read, comment, clap, respond and before I know it, hours have gone by and it’s time to go to bed.

Just one more comment. Click that icon to put that article on my reading list. Force myself to turn off the computer. Oh, Medium. You make it so difficult to look away.
