Last weekend I attended Type A Parent Conference down in Charlotte, North Carolina. One of the classes I took was time management. I am one of those people that needs an extra hour or two in the day (aren’t we all!).
One of the tasks was to write down a detailed daily schedule. At the end of that task we had to write down how many hours a day we spend on social media such as facebook and twitter. It was a hard task for me to calculate social media time. Not only do I use social media outlets for personal use but I also use it for How to Have it All. Many times I check in for just a few minutes between tasks. As a women, I do like to multi-task!
What I found out is that multi-tasking doesn’t always work. To be productive with my online time, I need to turn all social media off. I cut way back on twitter several months ago. Facebook and skype chat still suck me in though! If I turn them off, I am way more productive. In fact I get my work done in half the time.
Sit down and make a priority to do list. Once you check something off your list, allow yourself a little social media time. Reward yourself! You might want to set a timer though; otherwise those few minutes might turn into twenty.
How do you manage your social media time?
