Experimenting with Social Media

When it comes to social media I don’t typically overuse it daily. However, there are certain times I am sitting on social media... knowing I could be spending time with others or creating more memories. For my experiment I decided to pick certain time frames to be proactive on social media. I decided on my average day I work between six and eight hours, and after that I work out, have dinner and watch movies typically with my girlfriend. So, for my social media times I picked fifteen minutes of my lunch break, thirty minutes before my workout and then an hour when I lay down at night for bed. Now, for me during work I am not allowed to have my phone so it is easier to stay off it during those times. However, I text frequently after work and it was a nice challenge to test myself today after work to text people back without checking notifications or opening social media out of boredom. With that being said, I also turned my notification pings off on my phone. Those notifications just urge us to open social media which for me typically turns into trolling social media for longer than I need to. To be honest the results were great! I cut my snapchat use in that twenty-four hour period in half. When I was being aware of how much time I originally would spend on social media it was very surreal to stay off it. I love having my phone and being able to connect with others via the internet, however, I am really happy we did this experiment and opened my eyes to the things I need to change personally. 

I picked these three spans to be my social media time because I'm not a huge social media guy and I am constantly with my loved ones so it helps me fall into that schedule with ease. I think my next step would be to text less as it makes me build up screen time on my phone. However, texting is a large part of communication with my co-workers, family, and friends. I also believe as I grow older I need to not shape to my social media craved generation. As my generation grows older I hope they focus less on likes and more on building a life and family of their own. 

Overall, this was an amazing experiment to partake in. I not only cut back on social media but I also realized how important it is to soak up the life happening around you, rather than living through the screen of other peoples lives and opinions.  I plan to continue this experiment and take a step back from always turning to social media to fill space in my days.
