Everything falls somewhere in between. I feel the same way about this issue as well. Knowing why you are doing something is important. However, I have started many things without a clear purpose, I just knew I had to do it. Eventually, I realized what the purpose was. Sometimes it is just hard to know the exact reasons why you are doing something - even with social media. I think the biggest mistake is continuing doing something mindlessly. If Facebook, Twitter are not adding any value to your site or business, then you might have to reconsider using them. It's not where you start but where you finish. If we all knew exactly why we are doing things, then we would never make mistakes, but we don't. We make mistakes and we learn and grow from them. Let us experiment and watch what happens :) Best, Tomas Dear Lauren:

Luckily, I've learned my lesson...hopefully. Having a purpose and intention almost guides you through the process a lot easier too. Your brain just knows what to do. The same concept as is discussed in Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz. I’ve definitely done stuff without a clear purpose far too many times in my life. Luckily, I’ve learned my lesson…hopefully.
