소셜 미디어가 생산성 및 웰빙에 미치는 영향

### 소셜 미디어 중독 극복하기: 공허함을 실제 삶으로 채우기
* 📵 칼 뉴포트와 그의 동료인 롭 모어는 **1,600명을 대상으로 30일 동안 모든 소셜 미디어를 차단하는 실험**을 실시하여 습관을 깨는 것이 얼마나 어려운지 밝혀냈습니다.
* 😟 소셜 미디어를 삭제하면 사람들의 삶에 공백이 생기고, 그 공백을 견디기 힘들 정도로 **소셜 미디어와 같은 산만한 요소**로 채워지는 경우가 많습니다.
* 🌱 소셜 미디어를 성공적으로 종료하기 위한 핵심은 **이러한 충족되지 않은 욕구를 보다 의미 있는 방식**으로 충족시킬 수 있는 대안을 적극적으로 추구하는 것입니다.
* 참가자들은 **취미를 재발견**하고, 친구들과 시간을 보내고, 도서관에 가는 것과 같은 실제 활동에 참여하면서 기쁨을 찾았습니다.
* 🏋 소셜 미디어를 성공적으로 끊은 사람들은 소셜 미디어가 남긴 공허함을 채우기 위해 **적극적으로 하루를 계획**하고, **운동**을 하고, **자기 성찰**에 참여했습니다.
* 🔍 뉴포트는 '깊은 삶', 즉 공허함을 피하기 위해 **디지털의 방해에 의존하지 않는 의미 있는 삶**을 구축하는 것이 중요하다고 강조합니다.
* 🌟 이러한 충족되지 않은 욕구를 보다 진정성 있는 방식으로 충족시킴으로써 참가자들은 **더 이상 소셜 미디어가 제공하는 가짜 성취감을 갈망하지 않게** 되었습니다.
* 💡 이 실험은 소셜 미디어 중독을 극복하기 위해 **근본적인 문제를 해결**하고 **만족스러운 오프라인 생활**을 구축하는 것이 중요하다는 점을 강조합니다.

칼 뉴포트의 실험에서 관찰된 것처럼 소셜 미디어를 삭제하면 충족되지 않은 욕구가 드러나며, 이를 충족하기 위해 긍정적인 대안이 필요할 수 있습니다.

Recently, my podcast team was in Australia, and my producer and close friend here, Rob Mohr, instructed all of us to get rid of social media on our phones, except one guy who would post our weekly episodes announcements. And it was pretty brutal at first. And then coming back to social media has actually turned out to be more challenging. Huh. And you really experienced the friction coming back the other way. And then one experiences the lack of friction, and that's where it gets scary. It's so interesting the way that the brain can adapt, the friction leaving something behind, the friction coming back to it. And I think for people listening to this, I raise this because, I think, of course, many people listening are, you know, have work that they really need to focus on. They may be having issues with productivity and burnout, et cetera. I think a lot of people use the phone and social media

because it fills their life, you know? It provides some enrichment, and they aren't necessarily
committed to specific projects. But I guess through the lens of the, let's just call it the
Cal Newportian lens, one might argue that those
people almost certainly have untapped creativity,
untapped resources within them that they don't yet know about because they're essentially
using that energy elsewhere. Yeah, I mean, I think for a lot of people, it's papering over the void, right? You have this void in your life because there's unmet
potential, unmet interest, living in misalignment with the things you care about, right? I mean, a lot of people,
this is the classic sort of catastrophe of life, right? Social media, and before this,
it was other things, right, there were other intoxicants or
other sorts of distractions. It's a way for some
people of, essentially, putting a screen over
that like gaping void.

And it's like, just makes it bearable enough that you can kind of go on with life. And so it is true, if you just
rip it out, you see the void. And that's really difficult, right? I mean, 'cause I did this
experiment for one of my books. I ran an experiment with 1,600 people, and they all turned off all
their social media for 30 days. 30 days.
30 days, right? These are young people, old people? A whole mix, a whole mix, right? So not just university students. I recruited them from my
newsletter readership, so they weren't university students. And it wasn't formal
research, it was, you know, I put out the call, right? So this is not randomly sampled, right? But I put out the call, and I said, Here, I'm going to
walk you through this. And then I got a lot of information back.

So people reported back how it went. And this was like the number one thing I heard was, it's really hard at first, right? And so, who are the people that succeeded for 30 days versus those who didn't? The ones who didn't succeed tended to just try to white knuckle it, just be like, I don't like how much I'm using social media, I'm just going to stop because it's bad and I don't want to do a bad thing. I'm just going to like, you know, hold onto the table with white knuckles. They wouldn't make it 30 days. The people who did succeed followed my advice to incredibly aggressively pursue alternatives in those 30 days. So it's like, go learn new hobbies, join things right away, get like really structured about your day, get into exercise again, learn how to knit again. A lot of people said

Oh, I forgot how fun libraries were. Like, you can go into
this building and like, all the books are free, and
you could just grab whatever. And it's okay if you don't like the book because you didn't have to pay for it. I'm going out with friends again. Okay, every week, I'm
going to have, you know, we're going to have
drinks with this person, and every Thursday morning, I'm going to go running with this person. The people who aggressively tried to put in place a more
positive alternative through self-reflection experimentation, they lasted the 30 days and beyond, right? And so then I came to realize like, oh, I see what's happening here
is you have these unmet needs. These tools can give you sort of a simulacrum of meeting them. I'm a social being, I need
to be connected to people. Well, I'm texting and like
doing comments on social media.

it sort of touches that a little bit, just enough that you don't
feel hopelessly lonely, but it's not really fulfilling that. I have a need to, like, see my intentions made manifest
concretely in the world. Humans want to do this. Well, I'm, you know, posting these things, and people are responding. It's sort of this
simulacrum of real creation. So it's like kind of
satisfying that just enough that it's not just intolerable, right? And so what happens is if you remove that, you have to actually fill
those things the right way. So now I'm not socializing
on social media, but I'm going out of my
way to sacrifice time and attention on behalf of other people. I'm feeling the social
void in the right way. Now I don't really feel
like I need to go back. I'm actually making my
intentions manifest.

I'm learning skills and building things. Now, this sort of pseudo-construction and collective attention economy of social media. I'll post this and you'll like it. I don't like this. I don't need that anymore to fill that void. So it's like you have to fill the void first. So, you know, five years ago I wrote a book. It was about reforming this part of your life. And a lot of the book had nothing to do with technology, but about how to actually just rebuild parts of your life. And on my podcast, honestly, like one of the big topics we talk about, which is crazy that I'm a technologist and I write about trying to find focus in a distracted world, is this thing we call the deep life, which is just straight up building a meaningful life 101. And it's like crazy that my podcast is talking about it, but on the other hand, it's not.

because mine is the podcast people go to when they're fed up
with the digital world. And it turns out, if you don't get the analog world working right for you, you need something to
avoid staring to that void, and the digital world
will do that well enough. It's like just good enough
to keep life tolerable. Thank you for tuning into the

소셜 미디어가 생산성과 창의성에 미치는 영향

호주의 한 팟캐스트 팀은 소셜 미디어를 포기했다가 다시 통합하는 데 어려움을 겪었습니다.

소셜 미디어의 유무에 따라 적응하는 뇌의 능력은 마찰을 일으키고 생산성과 창의성에 영향을 미칠 수 있습니다.

많은 사람들이 공허함을 채우기 위해 소셜 미디어를 사용하지만, 이로 인해 잠재된 잠재력이 가려지고 진정한 관심사와 동떨어진 삶을 살게 될 수도 있습니다.

30일 소셜 미디어 디톡스의 효과

1,600명의 참가자를 대상으로 한 비공식 실험에 따르면 30일간 소셜 미디어를 끊는다는 것은 처음에는 어려운 일이었습니다.

디톡스를 성공적으로 마친 사람들은 대체 활동과 취미를 적극적으로 추구한 사람들이었습니다.

많은 참가자가 처음에는 힘들어했지만 새롭고 체계적인 일상, 취미, 운동에 참여하면서 소셜 미디어 없이 30일을 견디는 데 도움이 되었습니다.

자기 성찰이 사회적 행동에 미치는 영향

자기 성찰과 실험은 충족되지 않은 사회적 욕구를 충족시키는 데 도움이 될 수 있습니다.

실제 사교 활동과 구체적인 창작 활동에 참여하면 연결과 의사 표현에 대한 욕구를 보다 효과적으로 충족시킬 수 있으며, 소셜 미디어에 대한 의존도를 낮추어 모의 성취감을 느낄 수 있습니다.

의미 있는 삶을 만드는 것의 중요성

한 기술 전문가가 산만해진 디지털 세상에서 집중력을 되찾고 재건해야 할 필요성에 대해 이야기합니다.

그의 팟캐스트는 디지털 세상의 함정에서 벗어날 수 있는 방법으로 '깊은 삶'이라는 개념에 초점을 맞춥니다.

아날로그 세계는 의미 있는 삶을 만들고 디지털 산만함으로 공허함을 채울 필요를 피하기 위해 매우 중요하다고 강조합니다.
