Distance yourself from vanity metrics: only check engagement after 24h

Focusing on engagement metrics like likes on a post can negatively impact the authenticity and soul in creative work. By delaying the checking of engagement metrics until 24 hours later, one can detach themselves from vanity metrics and focus on creating content that aligns with their vision and passion. This practice has led to an improvement in happiness and the quality of work produced, allowing for a more genuine and fulfilling creative process.
