How do you all manage your digital interactions?

As developers, we're tempted to spend countless hours reading the latest trends, following the latest tech, keeping up-to-date with the latest news, and so on. And all of this can be very draining.

I've been there myself and I can't say I'm now immune to this – I'm still learning how to keep my sanity, remain informed but be productive at the same time.

One of the most important things is to realise life is too short to keep up with everything. You can't know it all and you can't be everything. Be content with who you are! And be a professional at the same time. Know your tools and sharpen them, but don't try to learn every single tool out there – it's not gonna work. Sure, experimentation has its place, but don't let it take over your life.

Rather than being a consumer, become a producer. Rather than being a reader, become a writer. Sharpen your tools by doing not by seeing.
It's so easy to keep scrolling – but stop it and start writing! Writing will make you a better developer and a happier individual. It's happier to give rather than to receive.

If you start writing, it will make you stand out from the crowd. Even if you write poorly at the beginning, you won't be in the same position in 1 month from now or in a year from now. You'll be better. And you'll be happier. Your writing will attract and your content will make people want to work with you and get to know you.

So stop being just a reader and become a writer! Get off your read-only mode and start putting content out there. And you'll be better off!
