Spring Clean Your Social Media: What to Ditch in 2026

The New Year energy is starting to wear off. By mid-January, most business owners are already slipping back into old habits. But if you want 2026 to look different, you need to let go of what’s holding you back.

Think of this as a spring clean for your social media strategy - clear out the clutter, keep what works and make space for better results.

So what should you ditch this year?

First, ditch the obsession with posting every day. Quality will beat quantity every time. If daily posts are draining you, it’s time to scale back and focus on content that actually sparks engagement.

Next, get rid of chasing follower counts. A thousand engaged followers are worth more than ten thousand ghost accounts. Stop worrying about vanity metrics and start focusing on building conversations.

It’s also time to stop relying on outdated tactics. Hashtags aren’t dead, but stuffing 30 irrelevant ones under every post won’t save you. The algorithm is far more interested in how people interact with your content.

And finally, ditch the idea that you have to do everything yourself. Outsourcing, automation and smarter planning will give you back hours every week.

The result? A strategy that feels lighter, sharper, and way more effective.
