We work and learn on screens. Leisure time is spent online. The US and global average screen time is around 6 hours every day. Teens are on social media nearly 5 hours daily. Today's technology and media is designed to demand our attention. We need a plan.
Plans establish our goals, set schedules to attain them, and keep us accountable on our path to success and well-being. Yet there’s one that’s often overlooked… a media plan.
As a society we’re in the middle of what has been described as an epidemic of loneliness. We spend more time on screens than in the real world. We’re expected to be online, but we’re more disconnected than ever. There’s an urgency to get it right.
A media plan is vital to your personal and family well-being, and Driver’s Training for Social Media will guide you through developing one.
A media plan is part of three goals of the online course:
Know Your Vehicle… Social media is bigger than YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram. It's any website, platform, game, or app with user interaction. Strengthen your digital literacy. Know what we’re up against.
Find Your Compass… Discover the advantages and limitations of digital communication and how it impacts real world relationships. Learn how to view everything you produce or consume online as an investment.
Choose Your Path… Take back the time lost endlessly scrolling online by creating a media plan. With family, you’ll make a plan together, where everyone follows the rules they helped create.
Free subscribers can watch the first lesson above. All of Module 1 is available to monthly/annual subscribers ($5/mo or $49/yr). Modules 2-4 are only available to “Behind the Curtains” subscribers… and to celebrate March Madness, we’re lowering our “Behind the Curtains” subscription from $149 to $129 now through April 7th.
Create the plan you can’t live without.
