4. Turn notifications off so that you choose when you look at social media, rather letting it “call” or distract you.
5. Don’t let social media interfere with living your own life – it’s far more important to be with your own family than to track what your old high school friends are doing with their families!
Using Social Media for Business
Here’s are some tips on using social media in your business without allowing it to waste your precious work hours:
1. Set aside an allocated time for going on social media for business purposes eg after you’ve done some work or made phone calls etc. Set an alarm to show when you need to finish your social media time.
2. Plan to do something enjoyable after going on social media, even if its only a 2-minute walk in the garden, so you won’t feel you have to carry on relentlessly responding to social media posts.
