Social media

Hello amazing people. How are you all doing? I trust you are doing great. It has not been easy for me. I'm trying to learn to balance my daily activities. It takes time to learn that. I'm also learning to place priority on relevant things.

Have you been in a situation where you know that you have a lot of work at hand to do but you find yourself moving from Facebook to Instagram to Twitter, back and forth even though you have work to do.

This is where I'm now. Although I'm already learning to place priority on things. I think I've learnt to stay away from Twitter and Facebook. The only one that remains is the Instagram. It is so engulfing. You'll go like you just want to check something but you end up scrolling on your feed for hours without knowing time has gone that much.

It's such a painful thing to discover you've wasted the on Instagram while you have a lot on your hands to do. Instagram is the easiest distraction for me. Although I've heard people say that TikTok takes more of your time and can distract you more. I've not used TikTok before, and I don't plan on opening an account on TikTok because it'll be add to the list of distractions I have already which I'm trying to break free from.

It's not really easy to break free easily. As much as the social media is an advantage to this generation, it is has disadvantages which if you don't find how not to fall into those disadvantages, it'll cause you great havoc. I have tried so many methods except deleting the apps which I cannot do because there are times where you'll really need it for a productive task. Even in trying to check for that productive idea on Instagram, you can easily drift off because there are so many interesting things on Instagram. If you don't have a great level of self control. You'll end up spending 1hr instead of the 2mins you were supposed to spend.

The explore page of Instagram is the most attractive part of Instagram. Immediately you start with one video, you won't know when you would have watched 50 of that kindof videos because they're always interesting and funny. One way to halt you from watching some more videos might be when the network provider sends an alert that your data bundle remains 100mb, that's when you'll discover you've spent a while on that explore page.

One might say that a way to overcome being distracted by social media is by getting busy but it remains a fact that you can be busy but still be on the socila media like you do not have enough work on your hands. To really loosen from the social media, you need dGod to help you. Also you need to start by reducing your time on the social media gradually, little by little you'll see that you're breaking free already.

All these is not to talk down on the social media. I'm just sharing my challenges with the social media. I'll love if you share yours too and how you overcame. Someone might need it or find it useful.

Our generation is the most advantaged and disadvantaged generation. Both of them is tied to this social media. Anyhow, all will still remain good if we can find a balance and how not to get distracted by social media.
