Your marketing shouldnāt be stressful, and we can help. Hereās Alyssaās best stress-free marketing tip: Unplug after work!
"In social media marketing, it can feel like weāre connected to this job 24/7. Notifications keep coming in - even when weāre āoff the clock.ā It is so incredibly important to set boundaries when it comes to notifications and being ālogged onā - without a proper work-life balance, thereās no opportunity for our creative energy to re-charge! Unplugging and setting time for yourself away from social media helps avoid burnout in the long-run."
Ways Alyssa unplugs after work:
š± Brings her cat Hunter for a walk
šØ Doodles aimlessly
š§ Does the dishes (while jamming out to fave songs)
