Social media is a great way to keep connected with your friends and family. It can also, however, be a major timewaster. It’s easy to innocently hop on to see what’s going on in your social feeds, and then the next thing you know, you’ve spent 30 minutes mindlessly scrolling and not learning much useful information beyond what your friends had for lunch.
Dialing back your social media habit may not be easy.
Here are a few tips to help scale back your social media usage.
1. Turn off notifications
Most social media notifications do not need your immediate attention and just serve as distractions.
2. Delete one or two social apps from your phone
We tend to just open social apps out of boredom and end up doing a lot of mindless scrolling. By deleting the ones that aren’t useful to you, you lessen the odds of wasting precious moments of your day.
3. Move social apps from home screen
Out of sight, out of mind: if they’re not readily visible when you look at your phone, you’re less likely to be tempted to open them.
