THE QUESTION: To Tweet or Not To Tweet?


The other day a fellow business woman asked me, "Are you on Twitter?" My answer was short and sweet, "No". Judging by the look on her face, one might have thought I had just told her she look 20 pounds over-weight in her new jeans. "You're not! Why?" Why you ask? Because I'm in the business of minimizing life's clutter - whether physical, emotional or technical. Pulling time from an already time-starved life, to send a few encripted words to the world in the hopes that someone out there finds them intellectual, funny or life-changing - just doesn't work for me. Every time I meet a new client, they all say the same thing. "I wish I had more time." Time is a luxury, one to be held tight and given to only those people who will value and cherish the time shared. Remember in the 'old days' when we actually took the time to have a face-to-face, engaging conversations rather than texting? Those conversations I have time for. For now, I'm leaving the twittering to Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore.
