Thats completely fair, and my approach does not work for most people as its quite extreme.
I still use WhatsApp to connect with people overseas, so thats replaced Messenger etc for me.
It is tough being a remote worker, and I totally get the difficulty with maintaining a professional network.
All good reasons there.
How I deal with professional networking is, I use email mostly, and I tend to stay in touch with people I genuinely find interesting and connect with. One of my best friends is an older gentleman who I met at a previous job, we always catch up for meals, coffees etc. He's one of my best network references. But other than that, my professional network is small, and I do have to put in extra work to maintain it.
Thanks for the thumbs up on the goals! I really only became this way this year (ADHD diagnosis + medication) and I'm really getting in to my learning now.
