How to decrease my social media usage

How to decrease my social media usage

There are some quite smart few ways to reduce your social media usage.  In this paper I
will present some few simple steps on how to decrease the social media.

 Lately I realized that I was using social media excessively, and I started to think on how
to decrease my social media usage. Therefore, I decided to use four simple steps to reduce my
social media usage.

First, I reduced the contact with the social media. Therefore, I uninstalled almost all my
social media apps (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube), except one app (Messenger).
The less apps I used, the less time I would spend on social media. After that, I turned off all
notifications from this app. Thus, I would not be bothered by the app, and I would not take the
risk of being always opening the app.

Then, I scheduled a time limit to use the app that was left. I started to use it only three
hours during the whole day, using it only for the necessary: To talk with my friends or families
and to receive any information.

Finally, after reducing the social media usage there was too much free time and I needed
to prevent a regression. Therefore, I decided to fill my free times making physical exercises,
listening to music and going to the beach. If I kept my mind occupied with something I would
not take the risk of having a regression.
