Six weeks into the 90 day Intentional Engagement Experiment, I have a surprising update: Instagram is the hardest platform for me to consistently have real conversations on right now. Between ads, suggested content, and the “either I only see my favorites or I see Unstable Unicorns ads” problem, it is tougher to stay focused on the people I actually want to build relationships with.

In this halfway mark check-in, I share what is working better (hi, LinkedIn and Threads), how I am defining a meaningful conversation for this experiment, and the simple tracking system I built in Airtable to keep the whole thing grounded in reality.

Topics:

• What “intentional engagement” means in this experiment (and what doesn't count)
• Why Instagram has been the most difficult place to engage consistently
• Why LinkedIn and Threads have been easier for actual conversation
• How seasonality and real life impacted the experiment (and why that still counts)
• The Airtable Conversation Tracker system I am using to log interactions and follow ups
• The next piece I am building: a weekly rhythm for engagement that does not rely on scrolling
