Emotional swings versus automated consistency

Let The Machines Talk To The Machines

I notice this almost every day.

At different times of the day, I feel like a different person.

  • In the morning, one emotional state.
  • In the afternoon, another.
  • By evening, I can look at the same idea and feel something completely different about it.

Sometimes I think: there should be a device for this.

  • Not for heart rate.
  • Not for steps.
  • Not for sleep quality.

Just something that measures where you are emotionally right now.

Because people get shaken around a bit. That is normal.

What is interesting is that automated systems do not.

A scheduled post does not wake up in doubt.

If it is supposed to go out at 10:00, it goes out at 10:00.

  • Even if I am still asleep.
  • Even if this morning I no longer believe this post will help promote me as a specialist.
  • Even if by 9:40 I have already changed my mind completely.

The system does not care.

And honestly, that is good.

Because when we work with social media algorithms, we are already dealing with machines.

And machines do not need our emotional swings.

They need consistency.

  • They need rhythm.
  • Signals.
  • Regularity.
  • Output.

That part is not personal for them.

So maybe it is better this way.

Let the machines talk to the machines.

  • Let the scheduler publish at 10:00.
  • Let the platform count frequency, timing, and consistency.
  • Let the automation do the emotionally neutral part of the job.

And I will use that freed-up space for something else.

Like writing this text about my emotional state for actual people.
