Stepping away from social media
keeping track of the amount of time we spend on social media, is something that wmwe can easily lose track of it. You might see it as just a simple scroll but this can turn into an endless hour of nonstop scrolling.
It’s easy to lose track of how much time we spend on social media. A quick check often turns into an hour of scrolling, and before we know it, the day feels shorter.
One of the main aim of these platforms is to hold your attention , but when too much attention is given to them, it can get you distracted and drained .
Taking a step back, even from just one app, can free up mental space for more meaningful work and activities.
Using students for an example, if you are a student who jumps between Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter for hours each day, there is a high chance that you may struggle with sitting down to study or focus while lecture is going on. but if you can make up your mind to step away from those distractions by deleting them, then the constant interruptions fade.
When you have less distractions, you are likely to focus more and retain what you study.
The same applies in the workplace. Many professionals notice they do their best work when they cut back on social media. A marketing manager, for example, might spend her mornings completely offline.
There is a high probability that she focuses on solving problems and writing campaign ideas when there is no distraction from notifications.
By lunchtime, she has already tackled the hardest part of her day, leaving her afternoons for lighter tasks.
Let us step away from school and work, limiting our social, media usage can also give us more free time to spend with family and do other things that we love like reading.
You will even get more room to think clearly about your life and what matters to you.
If i am to tell you guys the harsh truth , your attention is too expensive to be given away freely like that to any platform.
Some take more from you than they give.
You can start with just one simple step, first of all identify the social media that you want to get rid of, delete it and don't try accessing it for 30 days , you will be surprised as how much productive you can become.

Social media really knows how to grab our attention, and before we know it, hours have gone by. Taking a step back even from just one platform can open up so much mental space for focus, creativity, and the things that really matter.
It is so true; FB can suck you right in and doesn't want to let you go. The same could be said for blockchain social media as well. The truth is that we all need to seek balance. I suspect the average person out there could not put their electronics down for a day let alone a week or longer.
There is busyness within the busyness of it all.
Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day!
And you too, have a nice day, thank you for shopping by
I found myself tied to TikTok. I figured it had become an addiction. When I looked at screen time for TikTok, I figured I spent most of my day there which of course wasn’t healthy. Since it’s similar to a drug addiction, I think it’s okay to say I’ve been clean for a week and three days now. Lol. I haven’t even opened the app. I made that mental decision to focus on more important things without getting distracted. I thought of deleting the app but I figured leaving it on my device and making sure I don’t open it will help me better. Right now, I don’t even miss it. And so far, I’ve been able to do important things without being distracted.
This was beautifully written anyway.
