2019 Action items for social media managers
Welcome to the last issue of 2018. I scheduled this out on Friday because I’m taking these next two weeks off from work projects. This comes as a necessary response to an impending feeling of burnout (which is why I have an article on burnout linked below). I’ll be taking the time to read books, relax, and if it comes up and I feel like it, work on some side projects.
See you in 2019!
